hi , i made a game and i don't know how to make to sve it...can you help me ?

[LusikkaMage]

@nbaboygame What, specifically, are you having trouble with?

[allmusic85]

I want to know if the code used in allegro can be used in Visual c ++. I really want to get a basic game going but don't know where to start. Should i uninstall visual c++ and download allegro ?

[LusikkaMage]

@allmusic85 Allegro isn't a separate program. It' a library for C++, written in C++. It's no different than using C++ code. To use it, you NEED an IDE like visual studio or devC++.

That might be my new favorite quote.

I gotta say, this is one of the most helpful game development tutorials I've seen. Thanks. Design seems to be the only place where I have problems. :( I always get too caught up in making something perfect.

@LusikkaMage I think he's asking how he can implement a save state. Either that or he wants to know how to save the code he's written, if that's the case neither you or I can help him :P

I don´t get an Idea for what i could use a Player::Update function and it were nice if you give an example for a walk animation. But your tutorials are really awsome for people who yust started programming :D

sorry for my terrible english :/

at 5:01 you have written wrong :) int j=0; j<480/32; j++

found some nice cross-platform apps that combine note taking, linking ideas and even wiki functionality if anyone is interested tomboy notes (1 of most known) zim-wiki (cool, check some of the vids/pics) wikidPad basket (cool effects/features, linux only) TiddlyWiki Incollector Wiki on a Stick mindrider (notebook and outliner. made in java) all light and fast really boost productivity like Rachel said most export to html (u can make sites) ps. wiki means "quick" in Hawaiian :o
