Thread: Help with DarkGDK pogramming

I am new to programming so I dont know a whole lot yet, but I start working on an assignment for my programming class and have hit a few snags...

Here is the problem from the book:

In a program write a function named drawPattern. The draw function should accept two arguments: one for the patterns width and another for the height. When the program runs the darkgdk function should ask the user for the width and height of the pattern, and then pass these values as arugments to the drawpattern function.

so far I got:

Code:

#include "DarkGDK.h"

void __cdecl drawPattern(int);

void DarkGDK()
{
	drawPattern(100);

	dbWaitKey();

}

void drawPattern(int width, int height)
{
	int height = dbScreenHeight();
	int width = dbScreenWidth();

	int x = width/2;
	int y = height/2;

	dbPattern(x,y,x,y);

}

Any help would be much appreciated.

Instead of going for the whole pattern right away, how about something simpler like
- a pixel
- a line
- a triangle
etc

Perhaps you should breeze through it a bit more thoroughly then.

Because "easy", "easy", "easy" then "clueless" means you probably missed something along the way.

Did you try the examples (or questions) in previous chapters?
Did you try to modify them?
Did you try to break them?
If not, then I'd say you're moving too fast.
