I made a post about "Message boards support HTML". I had several window browsers up and forgot that the one I was currently using was the General and Game Programming discussion, not the GDNet lounge. In a frantic move, I deleted my message, and rendered the entire thread worthless. oops.

NOTE: I realize that since this doesn''t have much about game programming, so here''s my peace offering:

TOTWGPG Freakout:
The Tricks of the Windows Game Programming Gurus has that example game "Freakout." However, Andre LaMothe didn''t make it very object oriented, and it resemble a C program and not much of a C++ program.
I''ve rewritten the game to have classes, here they are:
CBall, CBlock, CPaddle, CGame
Instead of having Game_Main, it''s now Game->Main();
OK, so that wasn''t very useful, but at least I''ve analyzed Andre LaMothe''s coding style. He''s hooked on C.
No offense meant by that comment.

Oh, BTW, I need an opensource landscape engine. Anyone willing to give a link?

I believe one of the reasons that Andre wrote his examples in the book in C is simply to make the examples easier to read and also so that the book would appeal to non c++ programmers. It is more difficult to show small code snippets and quick examples when writing in C++. Im my opinion anyway
Yeah, Steveo, you''re probably right.
Still, I''ve changed the way the program does things now. I''m an Object Oriented kind of guy!!!
