here it is

Code:

if (!(hWnd=CreateWindowEx(dwExStyle,
windowName, //converted from a char* to a wchar_t*
title,
dwStyle |
WS_CLIPSIBLINGS |
WS_CLIPCHILDREN,
0, 0,
        WindowRect.right-WindowRect.left,
        WindowRect.bottom-WindowRect.top,
NULL,
NULL,
hInstance,
NULL)))

Show me the declaration of windowName.

If your system is demanding unicode, it should be something like:

Code:

const wchar_t *const windowName = L"my_window_class";

Can't play Super Meat Boy. Own a mac.

I don't play Super Meat Boy, but I could. Own a mac. Bootcamp-ing Vista. I like it better.

[st33d]

I fail to see how using Vista on a Mac is an improvement.

[Skomakar'n]

I fail to see why anyone would use Vista in any computer.

Obviously, to test whether your software is compatible with Vista.

Wasted hours trying to figure out why my project dependencies in visual studio 2010 weren't working and I was getting link errors. Just discovered that they changed the way it works and dependencies don't link automatically anymore. Despite there being a linker option called Link Library Dependencies.

I also notice they finally got around to re-writing the C++ parts of the visual studio UI in managed code. Now I can enjoy a spinning ring randomly pausing everything for a couple seconds when clicking on a tab just like my C# mates. blah.

is it even worth it? if someone uses vista, do you want them playing your game?

[bateleur]

if someone uses vista, do you want them playing your game?

Yes, definitely. Just because someone's using it, doesn't mean they like it. The most likely reason is that their pooter came with Vista. Modern machines don't need upgrading often. There will still be a significant section of the market with Vista machines five years from now.

I have three Windows install discs in my house. Vista, XP, and 7. I installed 7 on the family computer, XP on my netbook, and Vista on my Mac. Plus, almost everything I do on the computer is either cross platform (Minecraft / Web browsing), or Windows only (VS 2010). The only reason I got a Mac was for XCode, so I could do Mac/iOS dev.

Causing myself future head-aches 

Code:

// HACK-TASTIC - get ogl texture id private member
// WARNING - make sure to check / re-calc member offset when getting new versions of library
return *(unsigned int*)((char*)&m_sfImage + 40);

Edit:  Just added a static assert on library version so the compiler will remind me to check this if/when I upgrade my libraries.  Much better

Code:

// HACK-TASTIC - get ogl texture id private member
// WARNING - make sure to check / re-calc member offset when getting new versions of library
STATIC_ASSERT(SFML_VERSION_MAJOR == 2 && SFML_VERSION_MINOR == 0);
return *(unsigned int*)((char*)&m_sfImage + 40);

Today's amazing Flash CS4 bug:

I was not allowed to create a local variable called "shape" in a function block. It simply refused to be assigned to a value.

Yep. You read that right. I spent an hour confirming it. No local variables called shape allowed, everything else compiled fine.

Solution: roll back to last week's backup, compile identical code, problem vanishes.

After that a completed game I've done suddenly exhibits an error on only my boss's computer and on no other. Evidently a Flash Player version bug.

I will find the man at Adobe responsible for CS4 and I will skin his genitals before stamping on them with boots made of salt.

Finally an answer:

http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/ASC-3620

Vector.unshift is broken in 10.0

Which means I have to refactor all use of Vector.unshift to Array.unshift or else I'm going to be plagued by bug reports from users who don't update their Flash Player like my boss.

AAARRRRGGGHHHHH!!!!
