Planet Chili

@bonjovifan I take it you like the program? I did have to do several modifications to the framework to get the game to work as it does, but otherwise I stayed as true as I could. I agree with Lux when he stated, "Yes, I guess GDI is nowadays considered outdated, but if you make oldschool games and w...

Happy Holidays, Chili! Enjoy your away time!

@Luis Great, the more people who I can have on stand-by, the merrier! I know I am going to have to rework a lot of the code to implement networking, but I feel I can do it! If I get stuck, I know that people like you, and others on the forum, will be able to lend their expertise! :-) @Chili Yes, som...

I'll keep the keyboard nearby with your addy, just in case! I am a complete noob at it too, but I'll start tackling it, working it, troubleshooting it until my brain fries! If I get completely out of my 'area,' you'll be one of the ones that I'll start asking! I've got a couple of links to youtube v...

Thanks Pindrought, I hope you enjoy the game! I want to make this a networked game, player vs player, eventually and then try to do a 3D version using Chili's framework when we get to 3D. The main reason I stopped converting the game to the current framework! (No rush, really on getting to 3D Chili,...

Hello Everyone,

Update to newGame for Release mode issues can be found in the initial post...

Thanks,
Natories

I figured it out ...

The msimg32.lib needs to be added to the Linker->Input->Additional Dependencies. I somehow missed putting in there. So, I'll update the project with the dependency added in a few minutes.

Good catch, theToddfather, I just tried to compile in Release mode too and it gave me the same error. Run this in Debug mode until I can figure out why it is not recognizing the TransparentBlt command in release...

Wow, I had no idea that there was so many ways to describe BOOL vs bool!
Thanks for the info Lux, I had to do that from scratch because the book didnt want to deal with text input! I can see why. LOL. I will continue looking for a better way.

Thanks for the kutos too, I appreciate it!

Well, it bothers me too, GreatJake, but I was remaining true to the framework from the book. If you notice inside some of my functions, I do end up using the bool instead of BOOL. I understand the purpose of it, to ensure that a FALSE is 0 and that TRUE is 1, but I like the 'little' bool too! LOL Th...
