What the heck is wrong with this code?

09-25-2002, 12:32 PM

I was working on this stupid code at my stupid school on stupid visual studio 6.0 and it worked FINE! I emailed the source to myself and it is giving me an error on this line of code:

Code:

Spaceship1->ForwardAngle >= Spaceship1->MaxAngle?Spaceship1->ForwardAngle += 0:Spaceship1- >ForwardAngle += -Spaceship1->TiltSpeed;

The error says:
lesson1\lesson01\Lesson1.cpp(748) : error C2059: syntax error : '>'

GOD HATES ME

Nevermind for some reason the '->' symbol was cut apart...I fixed it...but I still can't figure out why it does that EVERY TIME I MAIL IT TO MYSELF

I think the code is somewhat hard to read.

Spaceship1->ForwardAngle += 0 //??? Seems unnecessary

I like something like:

Code:

if (SpaceShip->ForwardAngle < Spaceship1->MaxAngle)
 Spaceship1->ForwardAngle -= Spaceship1->TiltSpeed;
