Just finished section 10 of my course. While working through the code, I ran into a snag:
alaskalinuxuser@alaskalinuxuser-OptiPlex-7010:~/Documents/c++/Cpp_training/JelloStorm\$ ./build.sh
JelloStorm.cpp: In function ‘int main()’:
JelloStorm.cpp:121:13: error: ‘class sf::Text’ has no member named ‘setFillColor’
pausedText.setFillColor(Color::White);

An interesting phenomenon occurred while finishing up section 9 of my C++ game development course.
Consider this code:
// Per class was: Pickup::Pickup(int type);
// But that gave me errors.
Pickup(int type);
// Prepare a new pickup
void setArena(IntRect arena);
The …
Recently, I attempted to show someone the progress of my JelloStorm game on their computer. Of course, they are using a Linux machine (Ubuntu 17.04) and I downloaded the game source code from my GitLab. The pre-requisite is to have SFML installed, which I did, and then I attempted …
As I press on through the C++ beginner's game making course, things are starting to get a little more complicated. It's good, because that will hopefully help me grow as a programmer. I just completed the first part of section 9, and you can see the new changes to JelloStorm …
One interesting thing about my C++ course is that the instructor never specified which standard he is using for the course. There are many standards in the C++ universe, and they don't all have the same functions.
Originally, when I attempted to build my game without specifying a standard, it …
Taking this basic gaming class in C++ is really a neat experience. It allows me to do something fun while learning something tedious or boring. Some say that learning this way is a bad idea, because you can end up learning the teacher's bad habits.
While that is probably true …
When I originally created JustChess, I had a problem. If you were playing a game, and pressed the new game button, then started another game, you could press back and go back to the menu, then back and go back to the game. This was a bit odd. At the …
After the rough time I had completing section 6 of the course, I was not looking forward to section 7. However, it turned out that section 6 was just tough, and section 7 was pretty easy. That doesn't mean I didn't have any trouble though.

Another one of the great issues brought up by a user of JustChess, my simple chess playing Android app, was the fact that when the screen was rotated, you can't see the bottom half of the board!
Realistically, this would require one of two things:
Finally completed section 6 of my C++ course. It was rough. I ran into several issues that the instructor did not explain, because he is using Windows Microsoft Visual Studio, and I am using Geany on Linux.
I guess there are some things that just get taken for granted when …
