Hi :)
I have just finished programming my Breakout game in C++ using DirectX, but the game only has one level....I need some advice in doing the level loading....Should I just create a funtion called LoadLevel and have it take an integer as parameter?? for instance if the user have finished level 1:
And then in an a header file write 1000 lines of code to change the position of the blokcs???PHP Code:LoadLevel(2); // Load level 2
Or is there an easier way??(please say there is :D)
What about making a text file. That contains the position of the blokcs. Something like this:
00122200110
00122201100
00112200012
11111111111
Wher 1=one kind of block 2=an other kind of block and so on.
Then you open up the file. Makes a 2dimensional array. And puts the blocks where they are supposed to be. You can do this for every level. One texy file for every level...;)
Examples please :D
OK, I can't do that in C++. I don't know how to read and write to files in C++. Sorry. But I will tell you if I tumbel over an example...Quote:

You can do a search on google on "C++" + "tiles". I did a quick search and found a lot of things. In tile based games, they use the same technique that I talk about....
see if you can get some ideas of this...

As if it really mattered =P. The algorithms are the same, only the syntax differs.Quote:

Z.
Furthermore, the I believe the longest non Chit Chat thread on these boards is the Times of War thread, which is being written in C++ =)

Yes and I tryed with a "algorithm"...but he asks for a sample....but you can C++ can't you Zaei :)Quote:

Yes, though the question has been answered in the C++ forum already =P.
I also hate to post code... takes the fun out of learning.

Yes me to actually, but I find it easyer to explain in vb-languagae then in English....:D
Thanks all ;)
Youre right Zaei ;)Quote:
