Title: main.cpp file suddenly empty but still has file size 29kb
Post by: Voroz on August 10, 2012, 08:25:31 am

Hi. It was quite some time i did any programming but i decided to test my small game, which holds pretty much all my programming skills and the collision type i came up with etc. It's almost all that i've done so it sucks to have it disappear. I even saved the project on a USB and in my computer, but the main.cpp is empty in both places. I have a few other smaller test programs with 5-8 kb main.cpp files and they work fine. But in this only important project it's gone.

The file was last changed 03/17 it says, i'm not sure if i did any programming then or not. What gives me a bit of hope still is that it's 29kb, so it can't be empty. Does anyone know what i can do? I'll post the file here so you can check for yourselves.

Your file is full of zeroes. Sorry, you have definitely lost everything.

Maybe it was my new computer that ruined it. I got a new computer and was working with my programming, but 1 RAM memory was broken and i didn't realize for quite some time. Maybe when i saved the last time the save got corrupted because of it, and i assumed the save was ok and copied it to my USB.
