What about using the best of both worlds?

int  doSomething(int x)
{     int y;
      // ... do complex operation
      return y;
}

      

Try compiling glew with mingw using the makefile that comes with the source. You will need to compile it through MSYS because the makefile is not windows-compliant. Then link to your newly compiled library and that should fix things.

What you should do is keep track of when the key gets pressed and when it gets released. You could have a simple array of bools, one for each key. When you get an SDL_Keydown event, switch the key in your bool array to true. When you get an SDL_Keyup event, switch the key in your bool array to false. Then in your update loop, you can just check your bool array to see if x is pressed and move your sprite accordingly.

Thanks swiftcoder, that solved the problem! I changed the origin to the cameras position and direction to normalize(nearPlane - cameraPosition) and it works like a charm!

Note that opengl32.lib only supports up to opengl 1.1. If you want to use any newer functionality, you need to get that functionality from the graphics card drivers. Your best option is to use a library like glew(http://glew.sourceforge.net/) to load that functionality for you.

vector<vector<string>> room[10];

This code would create an array of 10 vectors of vectors of strings.

I think you want this:

vector<vector<string>> room(10);

This would create an vector of vectors of strings, instantiated with 10 elements.

I wrote a step by step tutorial just for you, I hope it helps.

Hello, congrats on finishing your first game!

Here are a few things I noticed about your game:

    1) The paddle speed is way too slow. If the ball goes on the other half of the screen, I have no chance to save it.

    2) The ball start's in the center and goes in a random direction very quickly, sometimes scoring against the AI or myself 3 or 4 times in succession.

         Increasing the paddle speed may give a chance to save the ball in this scenario.

    3) There are a few things that might make your code cleaner, for example:

 
</p><div>if ai_pad.points == 11 or my_pad.points == 11:</div>
<div>if ai_pad.points == 11:</div>
<div>game.winner = "AI"</div>
<div>else:</div>
<div>game.winner = "Player"</div>
<div>game.game_over = 1</div>
<div>game.pause = 1if ai_pad.points == 11 or my_pad.points == 11:</div>
<div>if ai_pad.points == 11:</div>
<div>game.winner = "AI"</div>
<div>else:</div>
<div>game.winner = "Player"</div>
<div>game.game_over = 1</div>
<div>game.pause = 1</div>
<div>
