I have written some code to draw a line and it works if I declare and initialize x and y in ComposeFrame
but if I declare in game.h and initialize in game.cpp constructor it crashes and it shows that y is at -1.
This is the code
Code: Select all
for( int i = 0;i < 150;i++ ){
gfx.PutPixel( x,y,255,0,0 );
x--;
y--;
Thank you for doing these tutorials they are great.

If you declare and initialize it in ComposeFrame(), you are resetting its value every frame. If you declare it as a member of the Game object and initialize it in the constructor, it retains its value from frame to frame, since the contructor is only called once at the beginning of the program.
Since you're decrementing 150 times every frame, if you don't reset the value of your y variable, it will soon reach -1 and be out of bounds of the screen.
Hope this helps!
