Im stumped...
Here is a small snippet of code:
The screen output isCode:float W = 640; //(float)SCREEN_WIDTH; float BIG_H = 480; // (float)SCREEN_HEIGHT; printf("BIG_H %d %f\n", BIG_H, BIG_H); BIG_H = 480.0; printf("BIG_H %d %f\n", BIG_H, BIG_H);
BIG_H 0 0.00000
Any ideas why?

Well there's nothing like living up to a nickname...
Obviously, the "<< !! Posting Code? Read this First !! >>" slipped your attention.
Oh, and to answer your question, the reason is your printf conversion characters are wrong.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
Wow you're touchy. fixed.
btw.
a couple of lines down i have more 'sloppy' code.
same conversion character %f.. and the output is:Code:printf ("W = %f , H = %f , W/H = %f\n", W, BIG_H, screen_ratio);
W = 640.0000 , H = 480.00000 , W/H = 1.333333
Why does %f work in this case?
Perhaps reading the manual page for printf() would help.
Basically, you've got to get the conversions consistent with the parameters or it just doesn't work.
