Nearing the end of finishing my 2D card game! I have to work on its 'manifesto' though <_<
feels good to finish a project doesnt it? if your serious about it and want to keep working on it you might consider adding a license to it.
i took a quick look at the header.. i dont think you need an 'about' function, i doubt it would ever be used, but this is of course not my project. (however it COULD be since theres no license or copyright! )
also, instead of the .txt file for documentation, i would suggest making a simple HTML page, or even sticking with a .txt file but changing the layout, check other pages for how they describe a class, for example: http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/i.../stringstream/
its much easier than using the FAQ-style documentation you have there.
just some constructive criticism!
If feels good?? It feels greaaaaaaaaaatt
And don't worry about the doc for now I will get one on my website as soon as i release stable version
how can get license for it btw
thank you for your help indeed

i dont know anything about applying the license or of many variations of licences, but there are many. one popular one is GPL, check it out: http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html. or search around for another licences that you agree with.
ohh it looks hard. I think i'm gonna stick to "about" :S
thank alot for your help

You could make it much more simple in terms of memory management. It would be a lot safer as well.
Code:template <class T> class Matrix { public: Matrix(); // ... private: std::vector< std::vector<T> > m_Matrice; };
i will consider that . I'm in touch with Boost.org, and it seemed from their constant emails that they are interested
I'm looking for the stable version that will have more features and more efficient memory management

Hi, I released the latest version of the library + full documentation
it has some cool new features :
+Multiplication
+Addition
+Subtraction
+Getting rows
+Getting columns
http://www.nightvisiongames.com/matrixlib.htm
give it a shot and give me feed back

for an official site, check out sourceforge.net or freshmeat.net. they are sites to promote usually free or open source software. try and see if there is a section relevant to your project and upload it. it would be better and would be the central source of news, documentation, and downloads.
edit: your link isnt loading for me
ok, i uploaded the zipped file, it has zipped file of library + header + documentation in a website

What is the point of matrices? I know they are used a lot, but why?

Fast 3d graphics is basically just raster graphics with a -lot- of matrix operations going on in the background.
Every rotation, every transformation, every scalar operation is a matrix.
Every triangle is a row a different matrix.
Callou collei we'll code the way
Of prime numbers and pings!
try the features of this library

First, well done on releasing your first project. next some constructive criticism:
- first you absolutely must include some more info in your header file. At the very least, you should put author, date, revision, copyright and warranty disclaimer. Theoretically I could use this code and if it didn't work, I could sue you. (it's not very likely but you should protect yourself). I'd recommend the boost licence, but there are others. to use it you just need to add
Code:// Copyright Hussain Hani 2007. // Distributed under the Boost Software License, Version 1.0. (See // http://www.boost.org/LICENSE_1_0.txt)- why is matrix restricted to floats? you could make the library a template and then users could have matrices of doubles/ints/complex numbers/whatever.
- what happens if I create a Matrix and use it without calling build? will it fail? if so, wouldn't it make more sense to require rows and columns as arguements to the constructor?
- how does print() work? the normal c++ convention would be to make an overloaded '<<' operator. that would work with printing and with files (and any other stream)
- if you're overloading the +, - and * ops it's customary to overload +=, -= and *= too. In fact you should overload those first and then op+ is simply
Code:Matrix operator+(const Matrix& rhs) { Matrix result(*this); result += rhs; return result; }- const correctness - print(), getr(), getc() and about() should be const. op+, - and * should return const Matrix. this prevents accidental mistakes like (m1 * m2 = m3), which is legal but useless in your code.
That's a few points from reading the header. If you want to post the source, I'll have a look at that too. Finally, wrt to boost, they won't accept a closed source library, so you'll have to provide the source. Plus I don't think the library is up to boosts standards yet.
Sorry if that's a bit harsh. Please take the criticism in the spirit in which it's intended, which is to help you improve the library. It's a good first attempt, but it needs work.

If you program in C++, you need Boost. You should also know how to use the Standard Library (STL). Want to make games? After reading this, I don't like WxWidgets anymore. Want to add some scripting to your App?
and some more: i dont understand why people have to go all out with colors in documents. it happens often by my professors at university, too. i would recommend changing your .htm documentation to simple white background with black text. i dont see a need to make it look like a Doom game!
