Console Programming - Tetris

Android_s · 2003-08-26T15:12:45

Right! Due to my lack of knowledge I have been forced to take a step back to try to make a console Tetris instead of the Win32/OGL one i was trying earlier. Things now seem to proceed fast but i still have a couple of questions about this. First one is about movement. In my Win32/OGL project i was using bool keys[VK_LEFT/VK_RIGHT] for the horizontal movement, all acording to NeHe standards . But now when I try it in console nothing happens. My question is then, Dosn''t VK_LEFT/VK_RIGHT work in console? My second, that is some sort of a thought. I have seen people here suggest the 4x4-array method for making the shapes of the four blocks. I read somewhere that it is a way to dynamically link the blocks together instead. Is there anyone that have made this and if so, can you perhaps post some info about this method? Thanks in advance! ----------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------- "Ask not what humanity can do for you, ask what you can do for humanity." - By: Richard D.

Hey again Android_s,
What exactly are timer.pf_timer_start? and timer.resolution? if they are exactly what I think they are then this code should work with maybe a minor alteration.

Honestly I got those functions from NeHe. I wanted to skip the MMtimer and use PFtimer instead

void InitTime(){memset(&timer, 0, sizeof(timer));QueryPerformanceFrequency((LARGE_INTEGER*)&timer.frequency);QueryPerformanceCounter((LARGE_INTEGER*)&timer.pf_timer_start);timer.resolution = (float)(((double)1.0f) / ((double)timer.frequency));timer.pf_timer_elapsed = timer.pf_timer_start;}

However, i solved that time problem. I'm currently working on the rotation and having a bit of problem with that. A bit mutch code to post but i'll just harrass you for help a bit more if i can't colve it
