You need to make the bitmap that it uses for yourself. Read the bottom part of the tutorial, it''s easy
Name it "blocks.bmp", also. You don''t have the graphics, you''re not going to see anything. I suspect that there may be a problem in your MessageHandler() or further down in your WinMain() code when it''s exiting, you might want to doublecheck those two.glassJAw,
In a simple program such as this, risks are quite minimal. What would you have done for something such as a ''score'' variable? That''d basically have to be global. You''d be passing it constantly. Sure, it''s good programming to pass stuff, but newbies aren''t always familiar with the different forms of passing, so I try to keep their use minimal.
Also, I don''t use exact Hungarian notation (bleh, n for ints, I prefer i), I use my own variant.
Lastly, I would have to change the code significantly in order to set piece types as enum/constants. The program doesn''t really care what *kind* of piece it is, it just moves it around how it needs to. Like I said, this is a very simple program.
To all beginning game programmers reading this, I wish you luck on your journey; either professional or hobbyist. You''ll need it, with all the frustrations that come up. I won''t say this is the best tutorial in the world, just one of the shorter ones
