I'm going to release a new FREE game, sometime in March!!

[Guest Jayenkai]

It's an Ultra Retro Platforming game.. (Don't get too excited!)

But first, I need a teensy tiny bit of help..

char progname[255];


GetModuleFileName(NULL, progname, 255);  //gives me "Storage CardGamesPlatdudeJNKPlatTest.exe" (I think!!  If not, correct as necessary!)


char leveldir[10]="levs";


int Level=1;


char Ext[4]=".lev";




//Required output = "Storage CardGamesPlatdudelevs1.lev"

Once I've managed this, I can get working on the Level Select/advancing, and allow the user to move the program from it's ultra specific location.

Too late. :)

char progname[255];


GetModuleFileName(NULL, progname, 255);  //gives me "Storage CardGamesPlatdudeJNKPlatTest.exe" (I think!!  If not, correct as necessary!)


char leveldir[10]="levs";


int Level=1;


char Ext[4]=".lev";




//Required output = "Storage CardGamesPlatdudelevs1.lev"

First you need to change:

char Ext[4]=".lev";

To:

char Ext[5]=".lev";

We need that null character at the end. Then you just do:

sprintf(strrchr(progname, '')+1, "%s%d%s", leveldir, Level, Ext);

If you have any other questions, just ask, we're always happy to help. :)

Managed it this morning.. But thanks :D

I've got the level loading working right, finally.

The enemy AI (as extremely basic as it is) is not yet up to the standards of the original QBasic version, so I'll be doing more work on that.

I have a lot more tiles to add to the game, and, of course, plenty of levels, too.

The game I'm doing is more or less based on the topmost one!

Like I said... Don't get too excited :)

I also need to work on the controls a little, too.. At the minute, I'm using the teensy-pad, but I think numbers might be better..

Edit: I was having a bad day.

[Guest Jayenkai]

Yup, sure will!!

See ya round :)
