What I should have said was "used C++, but wrote code that is practically C". I did use some STL and such, but I don't think that really counts does it?

If you have named your files .cpp and are compiling them with a C++ compiler, then it is C++.  Different standards for different languages, making two distinct languages.

-pedantic C programmer


ps.  I also object to the "C/C++" logo on this forum.  C/C++ is a programming language invented by Richard Heathfield, one of the authors of C Unleashed.

using C for a real time game.

Even though I used C++,

wha? 

I downloaded the game to check your C code but I don't see any, there is only C++ in the src directory.

Hmm, I just tried to find an API reference for XNA, and apparently there is none (despite clear references to it including libraries).

Try harder next time. MSDN is a pain in the ass to search through, MS has a lot of APIs and the organization of their documentation is not very good, but there is this site called Google that tends to link you to the right place if you ask it nicely.

I have found the organisation quite good in the past, atleast for win32.  Once you find a function simply expand the tree on the left it it splits into data structures / functions and a section which has an overview.  Kudos to Microsoft.

"Celtx is the world's first all-in-one media pre-production software. It has everything you need to take your story from concept to production. Celtx replaces 'paper, pen & binder' pre-production with a digital approach that's more complete, simpler to work with, and easier to share."

There's Functional and Purely Functional.

C is a purely functional language.  *g*

I disagree with linking to 'The C Programming Language' PDF, it's a pirated ebook/warez thing and to add insult to injury the person who is hosting the copyrighted material has added annotations to the PDF which are false and misleading.

Persons should just fork out the $15 for a used dead tree version on amazon

Well, to address your post the book is not a warez. I assure you I would not link any warez on this site. You can actually google this book fairly easily without having to go to any "warez" site. I looked through the book itself and it seems you are complaining about one singular note (on page 19) which can be easily ignored. However, if it is really that bothersome I have changed the link to a version without the note. Here is the link: http://youth.dlmu.edu.cn/book/bookdown/book1187785004.pdf

Just updated the page with hose links for Lua as well

It's never been released for free on the internet so it is warez.

If it had been surely the homepage for the book would mention this or host it. http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/cbook/

Or perhaps the publisher would also show this?  No.

Thanks for responding to my concerns

This might be of some interest to C++ programmers *G*
