I wanted to start off with graphics programming in c++ with SDL so I decided to port one of my old Turing projects found here. Basically this was a quick and dirty excersize with terrible coding. I'm still learning c++ so I know I probably did a LOT wrong. If anyone dares to look at the code I would be very happy to hear some feedback, no matter how harsh. There is only a linux executable included but you can compile it with
If I have time I will post a windows executable later. Screenshot is below. The controls are left click and spacebar. |

nice job! I don't see fps limiting in here anywhere, did you do it? |

No. I think the fps timing code is fundamentally flawed. |

Well it works, it just isn't accurate I think.. I tried to limit the fps but it just got buggy. I should have used a timestep based off of an actual timer to do the physics. |

hmm, true :p but I really don't have anything to say on topic, so I think i'll just ramble on in this thread for a while until I decide it's time for a coke. it's time! |
