I can only get an eternal loop when there is no space to break the condition (such as an empty string or one with only one word). Are you sure you're feeding it the right string?

(0,0) is the bottom left corner of the screen.

NO, WAIT

(0,0) is the top left corner of the screen.

(0,0) is the top left corner of the screen.

...for certain values of 'up'.

To make my MP3 song loop gaplessly in Flash, I implemented my own looper that incrementally extracts and caches the song in a bytearray during the SampleDataEvent, using the bytearray to emit the result - along with debug tuning controls to get the loop ends exact(which I resorted to after spending nearly an hour trying to tune it just by using whole passes of the song).

I don't know if I should be "happy I did it and it works and it could become very useful library code," or "grumpy that no better alternative presented itself." I tried to get the "encode the song as an MP4 video with no video" trick going but had little success. WHY is this API so bad? And why are there so many patents over these stupid formats? It would be so easy if I could just hook into ffmpeg's decoder or something.

"Up" means increasing magnitude on the y coordinate.

NO, WAIT

"Up" means decreasing magnitude on the y coordinate.

Code:

---------------------------------- cGrid.h ------------------------------

#include <vector>
using namespace std;

template<class T>
class cGrid
{
private:
	vector<vector<T>> grid_level;
	unsigned int width, height;
	void Initialize();
public:
	cGrid<T>();
	cGrid<T>(unsigned int startwidth, unsigned startheight);
	unsigned int Width();
	unsigned int Height();
	void Resize(unsigned int width, unsigned int height, T val);
	void Shift(unsigned int x, unsigned int y);
	void Set(unsigned int x, unsigned int y, T val);
	T Get(unsigned int x, unsigned int y);
};

---------------------------------- cGrid.cpp ------------------------------

#include "cGrid.h"

template<class T>
cGrid<T>::cGrid<T>()
{
	width = 1;
	height = 1;
	Initialize();
}

template<class T>
cGrid<T>::cGrid<T>(unsigned int w, unsigned h)
{
	width = w;
	height = w;
	Initialize();
}

template<class T>
void cGrid<T>::Initialize()
{
}

template<class T>
unsigned int cGrid<T>::Width()
{
	return 0;
}

template<class T>
unsigned int cGrid<T>::Height()
{
	return 0;
}

template<class T>
void cGrid<T>::Resize(unsigned int w, unsigned int h, T val)
{
}

template<class T>
void cGrid<T>::Shift(unsigned int x, unsigned int y)
{
}

template<class T>
void cGrid<T>::Set(unsigned int x, unsigned int y, T val)
{
}

template<class T>
T cGrid<T>::Get(unsigned int x, unsigned int y)
{
	return NULL;
}

In main.cpp:

cGrid<unsigned char> gridLevel;

And then I get this

1>main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: __thiscall cGrid<unsigned char>::cGrid<unsigned char>(void)" (??0?$cGrid@E@@QAE@XZ)

Do I have to make special classes for each type?

 

[jjd]

Too many <T> is your definitions. Use,

template <typename T>
cGrid<T>::cGrid()
{
}

Do I have to make special classes for each type?

No, you don't. But you do have to be careful with templates, which are annoying in C++.

You must either explicitly instantiate your templates, or ensure the entirety of the template is in the header. I recommend the second. Make sure you mark all the methods with inline, or else you'll get multiply-defined linker errors.

templates are allowed to be defined more than once, you don't need inline for them.

Don't even start on Z

I'll just use 2D arrays. I'm more comfortable using them.

Z is always up. Always.

Except when it's not.

I wish it were possible to get the current refresh rate of the monitor. is that possible?

Yes, what OS?

All of them

... That last part may be where the trickiness comes in :|

Here are the functions I use, which get the current display mode, which includes the refresh rate:

Windows:

Code:

#include <windows.h>

void get_current_mode(unsigned *width, unsigned *height, short *hz)
{
    DEVMODE mode = {.dmSize = sizeof(DEVMODE), .dmDriverExtra = 0};

    EnumDisplaySettings(0, ENUM_CURRENT_SETTINGS, &mode);

    // Store the current display settings.
    *width = mode.dmPelsWidth;
    *height = mode.dmPelsHeight;
    *hz = mode.dmDisplayFrequency;
}

Linux:

Code:

#include <X11/extensions/Xrandr.h>
#include <gdk/gdkx.h>

void get_current_mode(unsigned *width, unsigned *height, short *hz)
{
    // Get the current configuration.
    XRRScreenConfiguration *config = XRRGetScreenInfo(gdk_x11_get_default_xdisplay(),
                                                      gdk_x11_get_default_root_xwindow());
    int size_count;
    // Obtain the dimesions.
    XRRScreenSize *sizes = XRRConfigSizes(config, &size_count);

    // Store the results.
    *width = sizes->width;
    *height = sizes->height;
    *hz = XRRConfigCurrentRate(config);

    XRRFreeScreenConfigInfo(config);
}

Mac:

Code:

#include <CoreFoundation/CoreFoundation.h>

void get_current_mode(unsigned *width, unsigned *height, short *hz)
{
    // Get the current display mode.
    CGDisplayModeRef mode = CGDisplayCopyDisplayMode(CGMainDisplayID());
    
    // Copy the relevant data.
    *width = CGDisplayModeGetWidth(mode);
    *height = CGDisplayModeGetHeight(mode);
    *hz = CGDisplayModeGetRefreshRate(mode);
    
    CGDisplayModeRelease(mode);
}

I think I got the right headers in there.  My Linux code relies on Gtk, but it shouldn't be hard to swap in the raw X stuff.  All code is C.
