The problem is when I run the game and a collsion occurs "direction S" is printed to the console several times. However my if(strcmp) statement doesn't seem to say that direction and S are the same. Any ideas why this is??
char direction = badguy->getDirection();char tmp[2];memset(tmp,0,2);snprintf(tmp,1,"%c",direction);printf("direction %s ", &direction);if(strcmp(tmp, "S") == 0){ theSprite->setY(theSprite->getY()+10); printf("This happened");}Quote:Original post by Palidine
strcmp requires that you submit null terminated strings as arguments. so you'd actually need to pass a 2 character string, not the address of a char variable. I'd expect very bad things to happen in your code. However, instead of solving your problem directly i'd suggest a complete redesign. use an enum instead:
*** Source Snippet Removed ***
then
*** Source Snippet Removed ***
forgive any syntactical errors

char direction = badguy->getDirection();printf("direction %c ", direction); //note that it's %c not %s here b/c it's a char//also note that it's no longer &direction, it's just directionif(direction == 'S') //note that it's a single quote, not a double quote{ theSprite->setY(theSprite->getY()+10); printf("This happened");}Quote:Original post by siliconsurfer
Ok cheers, does direction = S compare ASCII values? If not how does do the comparison between differnt letters?
Cheers
char direction;switch (direction){ case 'N': // do some stuff break; case 'S': // do some stuff break; case 'E': // do some stuff break; case 'W': // do some stuff break; default: // do some stuff in that case that it's not what you expect break;}Quote:Original post by siliconsurfer
