View 3 Replies View RelatedC++ :: Video Game - Accessing Objects In Another Class?
Dec 3, 2014I am working on a video game that is based on a tutorial I found online and I ran into an issue associated with accessing an object's method inside another class object's function without making the object global which seems bad.
Here is basically how the tutorial set things up in the game: The game has a base class called GameObject then there are other child classes that inherit from this class. The GameObject class has all the basic information an object would have that needs rendered on the screen (x/y position, size of bitmap, bitmap, whether or not it is collidable, etc).
One of the child classes SpaceShip, which is the player so it has attributes and methods associated with managing # of lives and points scored.
There are other child classes of GameObjects in the game that need to take life and add points from the SpaceShip object if they collide with the spaceship or other objects.
In the collision handling routine I basically call a function "void Collided(int objectID)" when a game object collides with another. Within the Collided() routine, there is logic that executes code or other functions based on the objectID it collided with. Some of the collisions require taking life from the spaceship or adding points. The way this was accomplished in the tutorial was with function pointers (see Bullet class constructor and collided method for example). Is this really the best way to handle this sort of thing? It seems like there has to be a simpler way than to keep referencing function pointers in any new class I want to add to the game. I realized this when I went to add a method for the spaceship to fire bullets rather than inside my game class.

C/C++ :: How To Deserialize Save Game Data (specifically Skyrim)
Jul 29, 2014I'm working on my first own project which is to collect some info from a save game file and then parse it to a website. Skyrim uses a .ess file extension, which to my knowledge is a binary file. I know how to open a file for reading but how to extract the info I need from there. Do all games use a standardized serialization or can the format of this file be anything?
If reading the binary file turns out to be too difficult, would it be possible to hook the game and retrieve info that way? If so, where would you recommend to start learning that stuff?
C++ :: Writing Plugin Framework / System For Game
Mar 23, 2014So I'm trying to accomplish something that right seems to hard for it to be worth it. I'm trying to write a plugin framework/system for my game. I have read about it and everything that pops up says it's OS-specific and you have to load the plugins from either a .so file on linux or from a .dll file on Windows. So here lie my questions:
-Is there any universal way of accomplishing this?
-Every way I've seen assumes i know the names of the functions I'm calling which doesn't hold true if the plugin are written by a 3rd party. How would i turn the table on this matter?
C++ :: Game Control - Organizational System Giving Errors
Jun 24, 2014I'm making a game with the following class structure:
GameControl - The class that actually runs the game, with a while(!closed) // run the game loop.
State - A class that handles the state of the game, for example if the game is rendering the scene it would be in one state, and if it is rendering the menu, it would be in another.
ComponentManager - A class that manages all of the components of what is being done, for instance, the Scene class would contain a bunch of components handling the drawing of each tree, physics, the camera, etc. The manager will put them all together.
Component - A component of whatever is being done. A tree (and its rendering code) would be an example of a component of the scene. The camera would be another. The component does not necessarily have to be drawn, it could be handling something like physics (and would throw physics events to other components that need to move in a certain way).
The GameControl class has its loop, which would call the update function on the current State (there are classes that inherit State and override the update function of State).
In the update function of the base class "State", it would take all of the active ComponentManagers and update them. There are classes that inherit the base class ComponentManager and override its update function.
Each ComponentManager would update each of the Components that it owns.
This is the organizational structure that I came up with to make the game scalable and changeable . If, for instance, I wanted to add multiplayer at some point, I would add a class that inherits the State that controls the gameplay called "MultiplayerGameState". This would just add a new ComponentManager that inherits the ComponentManager that controls the player and all of the living things that are moving around. Then, the MultiplayerGameState class would recieve the multiplayer messages coming in and add other player Components for the other players.
My code is giving me various errors like "Forward definition of class State" and "Invalid use of incomplete type State". Unless I made some stupid error that I didn't catch, these are being caused by me including the classes in ways that some of the classes do not see the full definitions of the classes they need to see (because of the preprocessor directives preventing classes from being included multiple times.
Code: (Not implemented exactly as shown above, but I think the main difference is that the main class is not in GameControl, it's in OgreFramework.cpp)
The base classes: [URL] ...
States: [URL] ...
ComponentManagers: [URL] ...
Components: [URL] ...
The project: [URL] ...
My question is: is there a better way to implement my organizational system so that these errors don't occur?

C++ :: Game With Entity Component System - Generalizing Repeated Functions
Dec 20, 2014I'm working on a game with an entity-component system. I have a Manager class that is handling all of the components by feeding them into vectors set up for each type of component. Right now I have a lot of repeated code for each kind of component.
void add_pos_comp(shared_ptr<Position> pos_comp);
shared_ptr<Position> get_pos_comp(int id);
const vector<shared_ptr<Position>>& get_pos_comps();
void add_vel_comp(shared_ptr<Velocity> vel_comp);
shared_ptr<Velocity> get_vel_comp(int id);
const vector<shared_ptr<Velocity>>& get_vel_comps();
I've tried generalizing this with templates, but I've been confused by how I should organize the collection of vectors for each component. I had it setup so that they were all in an unordered_map, but how to get the templated functions to find the right map slot to use based simply on the template's parameters.

Visual C++ :: Puzzle Game - Implement A Way To Save Board State Throughout User Inputted Path
Mar 16, 2013I've been trying to figure out how to implement a way to save this board state throughout a user's inputted path. At the end, I need the output to print out the board states (user's path) of how he or she got the puzzle solved. This puzzle is the 15 Puzzle; but we have it to change by the user's input on what size they want to play (3x3 to 5x5). How to save the board state of each user input, then print those out in order from beginning to solved puzzle state. Subsequently, I would also need transferring the board state to change with using a vector to store the size based on user input. How to proceed, using a first search to solve the puzzle from the current board's state.

Code:
/*Calculations set as a header to keep compiling simple and faster*/
#ifndef calculations
#define calculations
int solved[5][5];
void initialize(int board[][5], int);
void slide(int board[][5],int move,int);

C++ :: Create Save File For A Game That Is Not A Separate File?
Oct 10, 2014How do you create a save file for a game, that is not a separate file? Specifically I am using code::blocks and sfml 2.1 to make a game and it saves to a text file at the moment. My problem is that it is very easy to modify the text file, and it is annoying to have to copy and paste several files if you want to use a copy of the game. I have a feeling that it may be to do with resource files, but I'm not exactly sure how to get these to work or whether you can modify them dynamically.

C++ :: Game Design Practice For Accessing Container Of Game Objects
Dec 21, 2014I'm working on my first video game. So far I have a few classes in the game starting with the Game class which includes a list of GameObjects (another class). There are several classes that inherit from GameObjects used to implement things like bullets, explosions, various enemy types, etc.
The game essentially iterates through the list of GameObjects to update/render them. I would like to provide access to the Game's list of GameObjects inside another class (like the Bullet class) so I can put new objects on the list. For example, when a bullet hits, I want to add an explosion to the Game's GameObject list it can be updated/rendered.
How this should be setup? I was considering adding a pointer to the Game or GameObject list to the GameObject class (and methods to access it), but I was wondering if there is a better way to set this up?

C++ :: How To Get The Current Video Mode In Console
Apr 2, 2014I've been wondering if there's a function or procedure used to know the current video mode. An example of how this was done in Pascal:
function VideoMode : integer;
begin
if (lastmode = BW40) or (lastmode = BW80)
VideoMode := 40
else
VideoMode := 80;
end;
I've been told "conio.h" has a lastmode function, but it doesn't seem to be supported in Dev-C++ and Visual Studio C++. Is there a Windows function to know the number of columns in the current video mode?
C# :: Stream Video From LAN Server Onto Client PC?
Oct 9, 2014I have loads of movies on DVD and they are all on my media server, but the media server doesn't actually allow streaming to be done, the movies are just stored in a folder on the desktop.
My goal would be able to host all my movies on my LAN server, then build an application to run on a windows based PC at home, not over the Internet just over LAN. For example, say the server I have at home had all the movies in a folder on the desktop, then when I start the client on another PC or laptop in my house, I could view all the movies, choose which one and then stream it to that client PC. I am using C#.NET WPF visual studio.
Maybe I could use something like VLC player to play the movies but I would want to build an client application to view the movies and search for them on the server where the movies are stored. Also I know there are other media streaming programs out there but I want to develop my own one for my uses.
