(For)ever loop

Personally, the only place I've found use for infinite loops recently were threads.

same actually, though i suppose any C++ game really needs a while(true) loop to process the game...though i don't like the whole for(;;) notation, especially since theres not a nice way to break the loop...whats wrong with
bool gameRunning = true;
while(gameRunning)
{
//render, physics, ai, game logic, whatever!
if(endGameRunningCondition == true) gameRunning = false;
}

This thread has made baby Jesus cry.
for (;;) { Jesus::Baby->getInstance()->cry();}Here, let me add a singleton for more tears.

while ( !endGameRunningCondition ) { //}Thank you for posting the only "infinite" loop I have ever used in any program. Although I usually use "done" in place of "endGameRunningCondition."
All loops have a terminating condition.
This thread is quite funny. I might post a mini noob tutorial of my own.

[EDIT}
I was laughing at this thread, until I remembered how much it shits me when arrogance overtakes courtesy on these forums... Laughing at this horrible, horrible "tutorial" is just gonna create one more person in the world who thinks gamedev.net is full of jerks, so the least we should do is point out why his code is wrong...

I.E. the above code is exactly the same as the code below:

for(;;)//start "infinite" loop{ while(condition){//start normal loop do something continue;//go back to the top of the while loop }//without the above continue, it would go back to the top anyway... break;//ensure "infinite" loop only runs once (its not a loop at all!)}I.E. the above code is exactly the same as the code below:
while(condition){ do something}[Edited by - Hodgman on June 6, 2007 8:24:48 PM]
