Structs for bitmaps
Author
I copied some code from one function to another and now I get this-
UCHAR blue = (bitmap.buffer[index_y*SCREENWIDTH*3 + index_x*3 + 0]) >> 3,
green = (bitmap.buffer[index_y*SCREENWIDTH*3 + index_x*3 + 1]) >> 3,
red = (bitmap.buffer[index_y*SCREENWIDTH*3 + index_x*3 + 2]) >> 3;
(585) : error C2228: left of '.buffer' must have class/struct/union type
(586) : error C2228: left of '.buffer' must have class/struct/union type
(587) : error C2228: left of '.buffer' must have class/struct/union type
the bitmap struct was made outside of a function, if that makes any difference.
the Particle Projection Cannon fires a shimmering blue bolt, much like a cross between lightning and a sine wave that ripples along its path.

Have you declared bitmap as a variable ?
IE.
A struct is just a type definition, used like ''int'' or ''char''.

What API are you using?

thats what I ment that I did! what''s an API?

That game dictionary is actually useful for something!

I think I'm with you, if you are defining blue I would use a macro like :
Blue = RGB (R, G, B)
in directX
if you want to shift bits and combine them, use a bitwise OR (| in C++ I think).
IE:
Assuming dword is 32 bits (or at least 24) and each call returns and 8 bit value.
eg.

IE:
DWORD Colour = ((bitmap.buffer[index_y*SCREENWIDTH*3 + index_x*3 + 0]) >> 16)) | ((bitmap.buffer[index_y*SCREENWIDTH*3 + index_x*3 + 1]) >> 8)| ((bitmap.buffer[index_y*SCREENWIDTH*3 + index_x*3 + 2])); Assuming dword is 32 bits (or at least 24) and each call returns and 8 bit value.
eg.
Red = 11111111 >> 16 00000000 00000000 00000000 11111111Green = 11000000 >> 8 00000000 00000000 11000000 11111111Blue = 00000011 00000000 00000011 11000000 11111111 ,Jay

I just saw your other post, this is the line that creates the pixel (16 bit format).
The reason for the error, as near as I can make out is that you are defining bitmap in Game_Main() as a local variable and not in the function where you have moved your code to. Try copying that across too.
You will need to declare the other vars in the function as well.

actually that''s a small part of code that''s supposed to copy a bitmap into a directdraw surface. and I didn''t have a problem with it untill I moved it to a nother function.

Is the struct definition and the bitmap declaration global in the same module (.cpp file) as the new function. Could you include the code from the void NewFunction (void) { to the end }.
