How to have the ability to execute like game.exe -easy?
Author
Hi. I am using win32 application to build using vc++ 6.0.I want to have my game to have multiple level of difficulties, and i want to run it using batch file like
game -easy
game -normal
game -hard
How can i achieve that?
Thanks in advance
int WINAPI WinMain(
HINSTANCE hInstance, // handle to current instance
HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, // handle to previous instance
LPSTR lpCmdLine, // pointer to command line
int nCmdShow // show state of window
);
lpCmdLine contains the command line excluding the program name
Ex:
c:\game test
lpCmdLine contains test
HINSTANCE hInstance, // handle to current instance
HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, // handle to previous instance
LPSTR lpCmdLine, // pointer to command line
int nCmdShow // show state of window
);
lpCmdLine contains the command line excluding the program name
Ex:
c:\game test
lpCmdLine contains test
Actually, in that example, I believe lpCmdLine contains "game.exe test". But all you have to do is MessageBox( NULL, lpCmdLine, NULL, MB_OK ); and find out for yourself.
Then you just parse it. I wrote a simple string parser that converts it into int argc and char** argv like in a DOS (or Console) program. It''s really pretty easy, since you know all words are seperated by one space. No tabs or multiple spaces or anything.

Try CommandLineToArgvW() instead (note that it''s Unicode).
