i could post the whole code, but it prolly wouldn't help, i will put a piece of it up..




char player_name[30];

void sort_high_scores(void)

int i;

my game is 99.9 % complete and now i have a prob using cin.
i just need to prompt the user for their name for high score, but when i use cin, nothing happens in my program. i compiles right. what...

nevermind just had to use strcpy(.....)

heres the prob

high_score_name[i] = high_score_name[i-1];


when i compile it says "=": left operand must be l-value

my array is defined as

char high_score_name[10][30];

i tried time(), and it will only return whole seconds, it looks like gettime() does the same, only w/ hour min, sec, and i couldn't find any info on timegettime()
can some help me out some more?

thanks for the help

i want to make a high score list for my game, but i can't figure out how to read and write integers from a file.

ok i figured it out
x=20*((rand() % (SCREEN_X - 80)/20) + 2);

thanks for your help

that creates numbers in the rt range, but they are not factores of 20. also why is it SCREEN_X-80.

i don't know if i mentioned that my prog does end, it just doesn't ever make to the end. i used the exit function to get out, and before i call that i call my own function to clean everything up. ...

ok i am having a little trouble generating random numbers betwen a range. i want the number to be between 40 and SCREEN_X-40 and also be a factor of 20. I had it working, but i somehow screwed it...

i'm just wondering if it is bad to leave loops and then never finish them. For instance, if i was in the game loop, called the main menu, and then called the game loop, without every getting to the...
