Thread: New buggy problem

Looks like you missed an if() statement not long after the comment

// enter main event loop

It is probably something like this...

if (msg.message != WM_QUIT)

...but it could be something different.

Also check that you have the curley braces in the right places around that part of the code.

The rest of the code looks right.

This is typical... you will see strange error messages when you have strange errors in your code. Compiler do not cope well with arbitrary input. When you decide to stop complaining about the compiler and get busy fixing your data entry errors you will see that there is nothing wrong with the compiler.

Your code has atleast two errors... I gave you one of them, now I'll give you another... there is no file named fcnt1.h, but there is a file named fcntl.h (as in "L" not 1)

Here are some more suggestions...

Remove all of the include lines except for this one:

Code:

#include <windows.h>

Add this at the top of the file, under the include files section

Code:

// Macros //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

#define KEY_DOWN(vk_code) ((GetAsyncKeyState(vk_code) & 0x08000) ? 1 : 0)

Add a global variable in the section at the top

Code:

HWND main_window_handle;

Add this after the global variable section

Code:

// Function Declarations //////////////////////////////////////////////////////

int Game_Main(void);
int Game_Shutdown(void);
int Game_Init(void);

Add main_window_handle = hwnd; to WinMain after the return(0); that follows CreateWindowEx(). It should look like this:

Code:

    // create the window
    if (NULL == (hwnd = CreateWindowEx(
        0,                                                   // extended style
        WINDOW_CLASS_NAME,                                   // class
        "Geo 3D Game Engine V1.0 Alpha -- By Ryan Capote ©", // title
        WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW|WS_VISIBLE,                      // window style
        0,0,                                                 // initial x,y
        800,600,                                             // initial width, height
        NULL,                                                // handle to parent 
        NULL,                                                // handle to menu
        hInstance,                                           // instance of this application
        NULL)))                                              // extra creation parms
        return 0;

    main_window_handle = hwnd;  // <<<===  HERE

Remove the void *params from these functions

Code:

int Game_Main(void *params);
int Game_Shutdown(void *params);
int Game_Init(void *params);

They should all start like this:

Code:

int Game_Main()
int Game_Shutdown()
int Game_Init()

I also noticed that Game_Shutdown was mispelled as game_Shutdown in two places.
