Here is a Screenshot of my GUI for my RPG

Btw, itoa is not standard so it's best to steer away from it.

...you'll have what the vast majority of amateur programmers don't: an actual playable game.

Hehe. :D That includes us does it not Bob? I have more of what I would call really fancy tech demos. I get so caught up on new algorithms or wanting to try this or that I totally lose the whole 'finished game' concept. Oh and I'm a 'professional' programmer now but I'm still an 'amateur' game/tech demo programmer. :D

@ the OP:
I say this GUI is a great start to a very doable (if that's a word) and playable game. Keep up the work and let us know how it's progressing. And kudos to you for realizing what is really important in a game. If you learn the underlying fundamental concepts the sky is the limit.

I know some Window functions do do something like that, most notably SetTextColor

I was thinking of something more like this:

Code:

---

static int last_x_pos = 0, last_y_pos = 0;

void SetPosition(int x, int y)
{
    COORD Position;
   
    Position.X = x;
    Position.Y = y;
    SetConsoleCursorPosition(m_Screen, Position);

    last_x_pos = x;
    last_y_pos = y;
}

void SetXPosition(int x) {
    SetPosition(x, last_y_pos);
}

void SetYPosition(int y) {
    SetPosition(last_x_pos, y);
}

---

It doesn't matter too much, though.

Though you'd probably use a class instead of global variables in C++ . . . .

dude thats badass


I'd love to see some of your code, I'm really interested in what you are doing. I have an IO system here I'm trying to make capable of outputting LOTS of data onto the screen. We should talk, pm me :).
