goldenratiophi Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 ...aaaaaaaaaah I give up.So, I signed up here because I got clicked on a link on Dnas's message board (http://s3.invisionfree.com/Dnas_Message_Board/index.php?).One little question-is there some tutorial somewhere that will tell me how to use graphics in a C program that isn't just for Windows? Y'know, I'm a Mac & Linux user and I want to program games.... but I cannot find a decent tutorial on doing so! I already know pointers, structs, etc. so I don't need some "Hello, world!" tutorial.PS: Hi! I'm new! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldenratiophi Posted October 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Time to break out the GIMP...Do the developers here make the games work for any operating system or just Windoze? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dathui Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 welcome to the forumswhen you say graphics, do you mean flashy eyecandy like they have in games or a gui?if you want eyecandy i suggest you look into OpenGL, there are several tutorials out there on several subjects and techniques. http://www.gamedev.net is a great place to startif you want a gui kill your hopes, there isnt a _good_ multiplatform library out there (or at least i've never found one and ive looked for a while). do like everyobdy else and write one version for every OS you want to support.

goldenratiophi Posted October 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Yes, I was thinking GUI.There is QT3, but I tried using Fink to install it, and I was really impatient, so after 3 hours of installing, I just aborted the process I think it's possible to get the X11 libraries to work on Windoze, though...

Ykkrosh Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 For cross-platform GUIs I've been using wxWidgets, which works very nicely (in my opinion). Our desire is for all 0 A.D. modding tools to work on Linux, and wx is also nice enough to provide lots of other things for cross-platform applications (file handling, threading, dynamic library loading, HTTP/FTP, etc, most of which I've never wanted but at least it's there), so I like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldenratiophi Posted October 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Yep. I tell everyone in all of my classes to say to everyone else that the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything is 42. BUT THEY KEEP SAYING "The answer to the world is 42." 42 IS NOT THE ANSWE TO THE WORLD! THE WORLD BLOWS UP IN H2G2!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Like using stdio.h for console input/output.) Can't GNU step in and develop something that is a. Fast. b. Easy to use/understand. c. Cross-platformIf only I lived in a universe called "Perfect"...

Dnas Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Oh yeah, give away the story-line What storyline?The book completely lacks a sensible plot.Besides the Earth thing happens in the 3rd chapter (out of 35). Very early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
