Well, lets get started then! This shouldn't be too hard, especially with help from all the experts and even suggestions from the entire board! just a few things: I don't think that would be correct; a 5,5 array would allocate 25 "boxes." Closer would be to have a 3,3 array or 4,4 array. Well, first is planning, then is programming! First, we need to figure out how the leveling process will take place, how weapons will affect stats, and of course, the world. I suggest we first make it a straight, 10 room dungeon, being very linear. Then, as we figure out how to plan this properly (and learn to

i have 2 timex Sinclair ZX81 right here, one with the 8k expander (or a 8k expander) i sit sad if th eexpander is almost bigger than the Sinclair, I also have a tandy Sinclair look alike.. with a 16k expander..

hmmm.. ok.. well I'll just comment so I know where to change before I port.. thanks.

ok found it.. system ("clear"); but is there a more portable way as clear is linux but must be changed to cls for winders.?? thanks

how do I clear the screen.. I would like my programs to run on a clean screen, is there a clear in c++, must be .. I know I just use clear in bash?? thanks

not easy to install or easy to use.. I thought it was easy to install , but I also thought Gentoo was easy. every things seams easy after Linuxfromscratch.. just an observation on how open ended the term "easy" is.

hmm .. What is hard, Debian uses a non graphical installer like gentoo (with out the compiling) mandrake as a graphical installer. after install all linux distrobutions are = in my mind as ease of use as they are all the same.. they have diffrent names for packages but in the end its all the same.. for some easy is it detects all of their hardware.. see the indavidual sites for hardware compatability.. but if one distro supports a pice of hardware they all can.. its hard to answer these questions.. if you search this board you will see this question answered every week..

ok murtu52 is thinking of making a text based RPG.. not a bad project for learning C++ or any other language so if your game lets do this OpenSource... first you have to plan it.. lets say a 10 room adventaure char creation.. skills advancment monsters.. collect items to compleate puzzles. wow this takes me back to C64 days.. when we only had 64k of ram to write basic programs.. I remember getting my first tape drive.. sorry I regress so the key to this is arays.. in basic if we had 10 rooms you would make a variable array of 5,5 and all room information would be indata statments. in C++

http://www1.us.dell.com/content/products/f...s=04&l=en&s=bsd the only problem I see is this.. when you click the ? by OS you get this statment All Operating Systems include Windows XP Service Pack 2 The Operating System is one of the most important programs that runs on your computer. Every PC must have an operating system to run other programs. Operating systems perform basic tasks such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the monitor, keeping track of files and directories on the hard disk, and controlling devices such as disk drives and printers.

I have, but I would have to reinvent anaconda for slackware.. anaconda is a python frontend for rpm packages, so I would have to make it use slackware packages or in this case all I really need is a tool to partition and format and then copy .img files over, right now its img2dir, adn I cna still use that I just need ot put a gui on it so peopel are not a afrade of it.

GAIM is there .. I had a request for xchat.. I am not sure.. I say that because I think its part of the min slackware install and may be there.. I have to check.. The build for this was started with the min slackware build then I added kde and other software removing parts I thought I did not need. I will check tonight to see if xchart or other irc client is there

Thanks.. I think before the next version comes out I would like to hear about any problems with it eing installed. and hopefully I'll have a nicer installer after this c++ class.

I have some text RPG I wrote in basic back in the C64 days, I just ported some to chipmunk basic as a test of the interpeter. after these classes are over I could problay port it to C or C++ with out much trouble..

Falling off the end of a function is equivalent to a return statement without a value and is only legal in functions with a return type of void (i.e. functions that have no return value). But as a special case falling off the end of main() is eqivalent to returning a value of zero. ok .. so if its main I can do with out return 0 (I don't think my teacher would approve of me removing it for assinments though) or a void function (and I have to declare them as void correct?) all others require a return status..

first thank you for the suggestions.. I will keep it in mind. I am finishing my degree in CIS but have found that in programing alot that I thought I knew .. I was wrong. now one question on your suggestion, do I not need a return 0 or return exit_sucess to let the program know the function compleated correctly? I'm not 100% new, but I'm going to a new level as I have been writing and editing for a while (mostly modifing others programs for my needs.. or all csh and bash stuff) . but I now see the need to write my own programs and so I'm starting over to really learn and not just have a work

never mind.. after I hit post I saw I was putting no input into integer3 as I had integer2 twice... so I had a garbage variable.. thanks anyways..

ok I decided to really to learn how to program and not just use shells.. so here is my problem.. I add three integers together and I keep getting a negative number as answer? anyone tell me why? I dothe same in a bash shell and get a positive number as I should. ... I always enter 1 when asked so the answer should be 3 correct? // this is a program for putting intagers together #include <iostream> using namespace std; // use this insted of a std stament for each type // main function as required int main() { int integer1; // first integer variable int integer2; //

great.. sorry but it wil be soem time before an upgrade. I had my basement flood today ..so... whell see

do you have a SCSI cdrom.. IF so I do have to build the scsi drivers into the kernel.. I'll look into it.. knoppix does boot on that system correct.. I will make it work for you man.. if it kills some one..

ya ya ya .. I am rebuilding with a 2.6 kernel and some updated packages. and write some new hot-plug scripts

ok Tomas released new scripts (last month) that will allow the use of unionfs instaed of OVFS.. this means I can stop working on the problem and do a rebuild.. I have been working on an alternative to OVFS but Have not had real time to do so.. (I still have a job , Collage, 2 kids..oh ya and a wife.. ) plus other things I play with.. I wil do a rebuild.. the nice part of the newscripts is I can use a standard kernel, before I used the SLax kernel after building up slackware. I need to modify the new scripts to get things to work 100%. With 2.6 there should be better wireless drivers and linm

If you want to set up SATA disc on Intel810 ICH6 controler then it is enought to modprobe ata_piix module modprobe ata_piix mntall other sata modules installed sata_via sata_sil sata_svw sata_promise sata_sis sata_vsc sata_sx4 sata_nv It could work, your disk's partitions will be (hopefully) mounted to /mnt I am not sure about the ubs cd rom boot. or SCSI boot still need more information.. I will mess with hotplug to see if I can get it to reconize sata drives at boot time..

this could be kernel related.. I use OVFS to keep slax compatable.. in other words you can use the slax add on modules to add programs I do not have (like GCC). but since SLAX is ment to be small and you add your prgrams to make it bigger.. I may have to change from this route.. But I'll leave it up to you guys.. do I forget about OVFS and find a 2.6 kernel friendly overlay system or do I keep the SLAX OVFS and work on making it 2.6 complient.. I have a book comming called "how to program Linux drivers..." Thank you for the feedback.. and I will take your suggestions on how I can fix thi

do you have a way of posting where it is failing.. and giving me a equipment list.. I tried VMware. but VMware does not "boot" from SCSI cdrom.. if you give more information.. I have all week to see if I can fix it and post an update.

it may be a chroot issue.. I'll test it in VMware under SCSI.. It should .. But I have never tested it.. is this a SCSI CD or a usb CD with SCSI emulation?
