ftp://tricks:tricks@67.18.198.26/patrick/engine.zip the malloc on line 86 of nav.c returns null while, not only is its parameter valid, but, i also use the exact same implementation nearer the top of the file. --- for any of you who might keep track... yeah, i revived my oldest project again...

so the topic is dynamic allocation. this is the struct im working with typedef struct { int RegionCount, NameLength; char *name; struct { int TownCount, NameLength; char *name; }*region; }*world; and this is the code that uses it world gia = (world)...

enum's are very nice, they make organizing and indexing into complicated arrays painless, and they make the code a little more logical for other readers. but what im curious about is: what would any of you say would be considered using too many enumerators? žÅNžÅ

so, we want our polynomials in the "proper" order (descending exponents) right? of course. :) or so my algebra 2 book says. *shrug* anyway, to do that i have a dynamically alloced 2d array holding each of the terms of the polynomial as a character string. currently, im attempting this to sort...

can someone explain to me why these two statements are different? while(!(choice=='u'||choice=='U'||choice=='d'||choice=='D')) while(choice!='u'||choice!='U'||choice!='d'||choice!='D') sorry to be asking such a moronic question, but i swear ive used similar statements to the second one before...

does anyone know what the maximum amount of memory malloc() can pull is? i know it fails when i go up to and past a gig. i have 384 megs of system memory and my page file is maxed out at 512 megs. also, just because im already writing and youre already reading... ^_- when i ask malloc to do...

just because i felt like trying, i wrote this app to translate roman numerals back and forth. no, this isnt homework. :P just practice. anyway, the way i went about doing it is just (for from arabic to roman) getting the length of the string and using that as a basis to convert one decimal...

is there a way i make an image that is either sized in DLUs or at least will stay the same size in a window as the resolution changes? žÅNžÅ

who here has played adventure? how about the 14 million clones? well, im writing another one. except mine is just a tad different. im not claiming excellence, just having fun. :) anyway, this will be a text rpg with windows for the main text i/o, inventory, stats, a map, etc. now, everything...

i created a gui rc in vc6 using the visual resource editor. i know ill need an accelerator for hotkeys and such, but i cant even tab between the controls on the dialog box. i know how to set the tab order, but i dont know what the tabstop attribute does, and im sure that doesnt help. so, using...

someone just gave me an ati radeon 9000 for the mac. wonderful, i would love to use it in my pc. i tried flashing the bios but it said it wasnt the right card and i couldnt force it to flash. also, when i tried to back up the original mac bios, the file size came out 32k when the pc bios is...

how would one go about sorting (by whatever value) a linked list? also, i havent the slightest idea how to save and load a linked list to and from a file in binary mode because fwrite() obviously wont resolve pointers. žÅNžÅ

i installed slackware and did it all correctly. im pretty much going for text only without the distraction of the net or games to finish my study of C, so i installed slak 8.1 on my secondary machine. it boots and logs in all fine (even gives me a fortune, w00t) but when i go to compile the...

a fresh installation of slackware (and done correctly). and it gives me this INIT: cannot execute /sbin/agetty over and over until it kills all of the runlevels. then, obviously, i cant log in to see if agetty exists or what. and ive attempted installation 5 times with the same result. what...

i just threw together a slackware box from spare parts. yay, a celeron 533 and a banshee. but, i cant find any of the accelerated glide libraries or drivers for the banshee. damnit, i wish 3dfx was still around. *shrug* anyway... help? žÅNžÅ

ok, a while back i asked about an inventory system and got the answer: linked lists. woohoo, theyre working wonderfully. but... i can't figure out how to remove members of the list without screwing the whole thing up. i know the simple answer would be a doubly linked list. then i could just do...

grr... why does it tell me this? current = head; while(current->next != NULL) current = current->next; -->new = (wptr*)malloc(sizeof(struct Weapon)); current->next = new; new->next = NULL; current = new; c:\projects\rpg\inventory.c(37) : error C2059: syntax error : ')'...
