techdojo - for the sake of people who are just starting, its easy for them to remember a thing by what it appears to do rather than a lecture on exactly how it is made up

And there in will lie 99.999% of all errors you ever make in your programming. I've taught programming professionally and the BIGGEST problem people have, and the source of neary all their headaches was trying to get the computer program to do what they WANTED IT TO DO instead of WHAT THEY TOLD IT TO DO!

Besides how could a single line be considered a lecture?

Plus - If your going to write DLL's in C (or any of it's derivatives) and you don't know the difference between strings, pointers, arrays and all the headaches they can cause, then god help you cause you gonna need it!

i wasnt criticising, i was just saying that if you wanted a simple description, or if you wanted a full description, etc. Not criticism, just making my point of view. Of course, you could always include windows.h and use PCHAR, but that's personal choice.

BASIC is very good.I like Liberty basic and Visual basic.But liberty basic cant make DLL's and the Visual Basic ones are not supported by GM.So i can say that Delphi and Pascal are the very easy and enjoyable.

[freaked]

Learn Visual C# its free and easy to learn too. its DLLs are fully GM compatible.

Theres this DLL for .NET dll's, so you can make DLLs with Visual Basic which are surrported with GM

And what do you mean make people talk?

I did the Dev-C++ tutorial, and when I run the game at the very start it says in the create event for the object:Error defining an external function.

What did I do wrong?

[cdm319]

show us the code you used.

Does anyone have good beginners guide to Visual Studio 05(c++ section) ?

[cdm319]

Microsoft recently released a "Beginner's Development Centre" which has quite a lot of tutorials on it, and videos on how to get started. I guess those might help you a bit.

Just a warning to anyone who downloads Visual C++ 2008 Express. It uses .NET in all projects, so DLLs will not be directly compatible with GM without a compiled wrapper DLL.

[freko]

Thanks ..I'm going for those

[cdm319]

No problem. I got you a link to it:

Microsoft Beginner Development Centre

[freko]

Thanks again.That was nice of you

But on
http://www.microsoft...vc/Default.aspx
they write

Create native Win32 and Win64 applications

I have not installed it yet but "native" usually means without .NET

[cdm319]

Try using it, it always asks me whether I am building the solution for compatibility with either:

.NET 2.0
.NET 3.0
.NET 3.5

always asks me

[Xception]

I tried it without any problems.
You just have choose Win32 project.
