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 …
Error: ‘currentArrow’ was not declared in this scope
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 …
Which C++ standard is it, anyways?
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 …
Pragma once verses include guards like ifndef
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 …
Game restarts when minimized!
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.

Can't play chess in landscape mode!
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:
- Fixed portrait mode, not allowing …
Player.cpp:6:16: error: no ‘int Player::player()’ member function declared in class ‘Player’
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 …

Previously, I had created a video tutorial and guide for how to compile Android, from Lollipop through Marshmallow, Nougat, and Oreo. If you need help learning the basics or intermediate material, please see my other video tutorial thread on XDA, Or …
The game restarts on screen rotation!
After my JustChess app hit the F-Droid repository, I was pleasantly surprised to hear that people were trying it out! With every wave of players, however, came a new wave of issues. I like issues. I'm a bit of a problem solver, so it gives me a clear direction to …
