Yay! NeHe has posted my message about Psycho Boy 3D on his front page. NeHe's tutorials have been a great help in making the game, infact the game started from his tutorial on making a textured cube, I for-looped the cube rendering to make a row of cubes, added a house texture on them and it grew from there.

Making the randomly generated levels has been tricky but this function I made has helped:
Basically, it takes a variable number of integer arguments (up to 100 and terminated with -1) and returns a randomly selected one. You can also give higher odds for getting the first one with chanceOfFirst with 0 being always pick the first argument and 1000 giving each argument an even chance.
So my code for working out which houses to pick goes something like this:

Making the randomly generated levels has been tricky but this function I made has helped:
// Pre: arguments terminate with -1, maximum 100 arguments
// Post: If random(1000)>chanceOfFirst return first arg
// else return a randomly selected integer arguement
int makeChoice( int chanceOfFirst,int first, ... )
{
int count = 0, choiceList[100], i = first;
va_list marker;
va_start( marker, first ); /* Initialize variable arguments. */
while( i != -1 )
{
choiceList[count]=i;
count++;
i = va_arg( marker, int);
}
va_end( marker ); /* Reset variable arguments. */
if (rand()%(1000)>chanceOfFirst)
return ( choiceList[0] );
else
return( choiceList[rand()%(count)] );
}
