Hello,

Thanks guys for all help.

I have resolved my problem. What I needed was to maintain the angle e.g. Y-axis and if I press right or left button I add or simple extract from that value. And then if I want to move object in the direction it is facing I use cos() and sin() functions e.g. X-axis += -sinf(- Y-axis) will give me desired result on X-axis. Then I apply all rotation and translation to the object.


Thanks ,
David

radynaraya ,ButchDean is right, I will give you clue of what is your problem.

You starting your loop from 0, think about your method of checking for the 10th day.
Spend some time thinking and of course share your results with us.

Dave.

hype261 Thanks a lot I really appreciate it. Do you know if the RenderStart and RenderStop functions are correct ? RenderStop doesn't have any code whatsoever, in the book on Direct3D 10 there is no mentioning about 'ending scene'.

Thanks Again
David

Hi There,

I assume that you infinate loop is within the following function:

int store(int temp,intfboat) { ... }

if yes, the problem is following you had some mistakes with your code.

here is corrected code with few comments from me

int store(int temp,int fboat)
{
	int buy;
	int answer;

	// Addition of char variable
	char answer2;

	while(1){
		printf("\nWant to buy some pots or boats?\n");
		printf("1.Pots\n");
		printf("2.Boats\n");
		cout << "What you want to buy?";

		cin>>buy;

		switch(buy){

				case 1:
					temp = temp + 1;
					printf( "Now your pot are %d\n" , temp );
					break;
				case 2:
					fboat = fboat+1;
					printf( "Now your boat are %d\n" , fboat );
					break;
		}

		cout << "\nWant to buy again:";

		//Use of answer2 below instead of answer
		cin >> answer2;

		//notice below answer2 is not in quotation marks "",and y or n are not in "" marks but in '' marks.
		if(answer2 == 'y'){
			store( temp , fboat );
			continue;
		}
		if(answer2 == 'n') break;
	}
	return 0;
}

I have tested this code personally and it works.

Hope this helps

Hey There,

First of all I'll tell you what I did. To gain more experience with programming I have created procedural game, implementing only basic features( placing pots in the harbour, at the open sea, selling/buying items ). After I had basic functionality I have started implementing more 'advanced' stuff e.g. different weather on different days etc. After this stage I have had working text-based game, also I got myself into 'C++ Thinking', which helps. So I had this basic game and I have started to introduce stuff like structures and classes, e.g. class called Player which held data i.e. amount of money, amount of assets etc. After Implementation of these features(classes and structures, and more object-oriented programming) you can start implementing additional features to the game like '2 players' or extended game play to '15 days'.

For the basic game in terms of days I have packed everything into one big for loop that is being repeated 10 times. Later on I have added this into class. Then you can implement features like recognition of today's date.

For the start keep it simple then add onto it. The game is really simple and in terms of C++ should not take more than 400 lines of code.

Hope this helps.
David.
