Initialializer Lists
Author
I have no idea how they work. Amung other errors in this code, how do I use initializer lists in this case?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
.cpp
Bullet::Bullet()
{
//Initialize the velocity
bXVel = 4;
bYVel = 4;
Bullet : (/*shooting*/)
}
void Bullet::handle_input()
{
if( event.type == SDL_KEYDOWN )
{
switch( event.key.keysym.sym )
{
case SDLK_SPACE:
Bullet_Pointer->draw;
Shooting = true;
break;
}
if (Shooting == true)
{
Bullet_Pointer->update;
}
}
}
void Bullet::update()
{
bX += bXVel;
bY += bYVel;
}
void Bullet::draw(SDL_Surface *bulletImage, SDL_Surface *screen)
{
SDL_Rect destination = {bX,bY};
SDL_BlitSurface(Bullet_Pointer,0,screen, &destination);
}
bool Bullet::dead() const
{
SDL_Surface *screen = SDL_GetVideoSurface();
if(bX > screen->w || bX < 0)
{
return false;
}
else if(bY > screen->h || bY < 0)
{
return false;
}
return true
}
};
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
.h
class Bullet
{
private:
//The x and y offsets of the bullet
int bX, bY;
//The velocity of the bullet
int bXVel, bYVel;
bool Bbullet;
public:
Bullet :
{
void update();
void draw();
bool dead() const;
void handle_input();
}
};
Your class definition has a few syntax errors. I assume you want to declare a constructor:
It should be:
Also note that you don't set the value of the members bX, bY and Bbullet in your constructor. You should.
class Bullet{private: //The x and y offsets of the bullet int bX, bY; //The velocity of the bullet int bXVel, bYVel; bool Bbullet;public: Bullet : // problem: not legal syntax { // problem: this shouldn't be here void update(); void draw(); bool dead() const; void handle_input(); } // problem: this shouldn't be here either};It should be:
class Bullet{private: //The x and y offsets of the bullet int bX, bY; //The velocity of the bullet int bXVel, bYVel; bool Bbullet;public: Bullet(); void update(); void draw(); bool dead() const; void handle_input();};Also note that you don't set the value of the members bX, bY and Bbullet in your constructor. You should.

Thanks, now that I look back, I don't know what I was thinking, that is quite basic.
However I do have another issue. Im getting an error on:
Bullet_Pointer->draw;
Bullet_Pointer->update;
94 C:\Users\Family\Documents\FinalProject\Include\Headers\classes.cpp 'struct SDL_Surface' has no member named 'draw'
Same for update.
I know you had mentioned this earlier, but changing the pointer name to something more descriptive did not chnage anyhting.

What is the type of Bullet_Pointer? It looks like it's a pointer to an SDL_Surface, and you probably intended for it to be a pointer to your Bullet class.

Yes, Bullet_Pointer is pointing to an image. I diddnt know you can point to class. How would it look and work?
I don't understand why a Bullet needs to react to input in the first place. In my mind, some other object (e.g. a Player object) might react to input to create a bullet.
E.g:
E.g:
class Bullet{ // bullet stuff};class Player{public: // player stuff Bullet shoot();};int main(){ Player player; std::vector<Bullet> bullets; while(running) { SDL_Event event; while(SDL_PollEvent(&event)) { if( event.type == SDL_KEYDOWN ) { switch( event.key.keysym.sym ) { case SDLK_SPACE: bullets.push_back(player.shoot()); break; // other keys default: break; } } } // update all objects // remove dead objects from the simulation // draw objects }}

Well I am still not familier with vectors or the push.back function.
You can call Bullet(); into the "player" class? I never knew, I have a similar class relating to player, but instead it's just "Plane".
Sounds like you need to learn more about how classes work. Check out the free C++ books in the links below.

A vector is a dynamic object container. That means that std::vector<Bullet> can hold many bullets. A vector is modelled on an array, so you can use array like semantics when dealing with one. Because the vector can contain any number of instances, you can ask the vector for its size to determine how many times to loop:
std::vector<Bullet> bullets;// add some bullets to the vectorfor(int i = 0 ; i < bullets.size() ; ++i){ bullets.update();}This is very simple usage.
The push_back function simply adds an element to the end of the vector.
std::vector<int> integers;// integers is empty, so its size == 0.integers.push_back(1);// integers is {1}, its size is now 1 and integers[0] == 1.integers.push_back(42);// integers is {1, 42}, its size == 2.// integers[0] is still 1.// integers[1] is 42.integers.push_back(13);// integers is {1, 42, 13}, its size == 3// integers[0] is still 1.// integers[1] is 42.// integers[2] is 13.// This next bit prints// // integers are: 1 42 13//std::cout << "integers are:";for(int i = 0 ; i < integers.size() ; ++i){ std::cout << ' ' << integers;}std::cout << '\n';Quote:

Well, once you have defined the Bullet class it is like any other type. You can treat bullet like you would int or std::string. So you can create a function in the Plane class that returns Bullet instances.
