///// for C++ programmers Ok since i know there are some C++ ers here, I have some questions. I Have 4 c++ programming books, they make me angry because all they teach is making dos windowed programs. THEY FAIL TO INCLUDE GRAPHICS and gui functions. I'm a noob at C++ but i want to at least make a decent interface for my programs. How difficult are GUI's in C++ and where should i start? I just got to the chapter on object creation.
IT MAKES ME FURIOUS THAT they expect me to make all dos programms. ///// For classic ame enthusiasts Is there a way to get the palette from the old nes days without doing the palette grabbing manuely? I don't want to fiddle with roms. ///// For music makers Know any free music creation programs
Please be serious don't make wise cracks. ( I know this is like not breathing around this forum :) ) ------------- http://www.shmup-dev.com/forum/">

That's the most commonly used estimated NES palette and the one I use. ///// For music makers Know any free music creation programs
Any particular format? Midi, Mod, Mp3? I only really specialise in Mods these days. ------------- http://eocommunity.co.uk/">

> I Have 4 c++ programming books, they make me angry because all they teach is making dos windowed programs. That's probably because these "dos programs" compile and run on most platforms, not just windows. > THEY FAIL TO INCLUDE GRAPHICS and gui functions. Graphics and gui are very platform dependent stuff. You'll have to choose your platform and api. For windows-platform, the api can be for example DirectX. Or OpenGL. Or just plain WindowsApi (#include <windows.h>). Or SDL. (Or make your own from scratch;) Lot's of possibilities... |

Maybe something like FL Studio or Acid Pro or something like that then. EDIT: Forgot ya said free... In that case I have no idea. I used to just nab that stuff off a musician friend of mine. Like I said before, I'm more into doing small quality tracker mods ------------- http://eocommunity.co.uk/">

There are lots of free music programs. Google Jeskola Buzz, Modplug and even Sound Club for the basic needs. But I use FL Studio and Acid Pro myself as well.. As this is the questions topic, i have a question. In zombie movies, zombies rely on basic food instincts, but why are those instincts cannibalistic and only apply on living flesh? And in Romeros movies, where do the zombies come from, because every moving alive creature is ripped apart and chewed? |
