Okay, I am making a game (no duh), and I can't seem to get it to run anywhere. I don't know why it wont work. How do you all get yours to save as ".exe"? Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Compile?
What Compiler do you use?
Microsoft Visual C++ OR Dev C++, I have both.
In MSVC, push F5 or shift F5 (I think that's right). Does it compile without error?
If you haven't mastered using a compiler yet, you shouldn't be making a game. You should be reading tutorials on making "Hello World" programs.
Away.
Okay, here's waht happens. (exactly)
I press compile
compiles with no problem
Then I hit run
Then it says
"C:\Debug\Text1.exe
This file does not exist. Do you want to build it?"
I click yes
then it says "cannot excecute program"
There are NO errors nor warnings.
press Ctrl+Alt+Del
to get to the windows task manager
your program may already be running so click on "processes"
and look there after your programs title if you find it there end it and try to compile again. if it isnt there then i dont know whats wrong
Ok, well it seems that the real problem happens when i hit compile...(It builds just fine, that must have been what I was doing, and also what F5 does...)It says
"Cannont compile the file 'C:\test.txt'; no compile tool is associated with the file extension."
I cannot save it as any other file type either. ".txt" is the only extension it allows. Am I missing something?(not running two at once btw)
Yes, you're missing something. You have to save it as .c or .cpp. And don't tell me you can't; you can.
Away.
How about saving it like this:

yes change the .txt to .c or .cpp
1. This post (not meant to be a flame) has NOTHING to do w/game programming. He just said "I'm making a game", and left it at that.
2. Jawib, what's Army Operations. How did you upload that picture? Did you put on a website or something?

Stan, Army Operations is a shortcut to the game America's Army produced by the U.S.
It is an online tactical fps. It free and has good graphics.

Yeah pretty good game, although I only played it for a couple weeks. It was fun to play with my friend and talk over the phone, but he stopped playing, so...And I attached the picture by typing it in the "Attach file" field...I think it only displays it if it is a gif or a jpeg though

Thanks to all of your WONDERFUL help I got this working now ^^.
My program seems to be working good now, and I hope to get it up soon. I can not thank you guys enough!
As for this being a spam thread I am planning to post my game in here later. (as soon as it works) I was simply making the forums easier to browse through by making myself only one thread.
