    Posted 7 Jul 2012

    Alright, I finally got something. I kept stepping through the code, and I stopped on what GetCurrentLocation() returns. It now says in the Autos window that Level.Locations[1,2] is null, Level.Locations[0,0] is null, and Level.Locations[0,1] is null. I stepped through everything a dozen times, and I didn't see this before. Anyways, here's the Level class...

    Level.cs
    using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using TextRPGv2;

namespace TextRPGv2
{
    static class Level
    {
        private static Location[,] locations;

        #region Properties

        public static Location[,] Locations
        {
            get { return locations; }
        }

        #endregion

        public static void Initialize()
        {
            BuildLevel();
        }

        private static void BuildLevel()
        {
            locations = new Location[1, 2];

            LocationDB locationDB = new LocationDB();

            Player.PosX = 0;
            Player.PosY = 0;
        }
    }
}


    Location.cs
    using System;
using System.IO;

    I've looked over every resource that was linked to by others, and they were helpful. At least we narrowed down the issue -.-

    Thanks!

    Try putting a break point on line 29 and seeing what the object "Player" is. I don't see it declared so my guess that is your problem... but you should verify.

    Debugging


    I declared the Player class in a separate file, because it's pretty large. Should I post it?

    In start game, where you say 
     Player.GetCurrentLocation().Describe();
    aren't GetCurrentLocation() and Describe() their own methods? Also, it's always helpful to step through the code.


    Yes, GetCurrentLocation() is a method in the Player class, and Describe() is in the Location class.
    I tried stepping through it, and the code went through the GetCurrentLocation() method, so this must be a problem with how Describe() is called/is set up. But I don't understand how that could throw a NullReferenceException?

    Also, thanks for replying!

  3. In Topic: .NET 4.0 Full/Client profiles; Does anyone care?

    Posted 6 Jul 2012

    I believe you'd usually want the Client Profile, unless you are trying to go cross-platform. Linux has Mono and MonoDevelop (Visual Studio-like IDE), and I don't think Mono supports developing using the Client Profile.

    Also, use the Client Profile if you are developing anything other than server apps. Server apps like in Asp.NET do need the full framework.

    Sorry I've been sleeping so long, I've changed a hell of alot of things, Mainly the OS, therefore I shall start a new series, Of Monodevelop and C#! Why limit to .NET when you can use C# on more platforms!


    Thanks for your tutorial Fungle. I've used several languages before and have always been curious about c#. You mentioned that it can be used on many platforms. Can you please elaborate what these platforms are and how c# may be used in each?


    He's talking about Monodevelop for Linux. The Mono Project is basically like .NET for Linux, with C# support. Monodevelop is very similar to Visual Studio, except you can use it on Linux to make .NET (Mono)/ C# projects.

  5. In Topic: Simple Temperature Conversion Program - Logical Error

    Posted 13 May 2012

    Ahh, thank you very much. I know exactly what you mean, but how would I change that in the code? I changed the variable types to float, but that didn't work. Sorry haha I'm very new to this!

    EDIT: Nevermind - I changed the variables to float and changed the numbers to 5f and 9f. Thanks for your help!
