Hey guys!

I've made little puzzler and I'd like some feedback.

http://srejv.radhuset.org/flipgame/

So I rewrote the game, and improved on it.

Changed a few of the levels too.
I'd still like some feedback! Good luck!

I'm using the animation framework in the wiki for animation. :]

Thank you.

Nice Game, funny to play.

If you want to continue working on it, you could make everything a little bit more colored, add some flip animations or something like this...

I already have a feature request: a save function. Because noone will finish all the 100 (!) levels in one go.

That is definitively not SFML's task.

You can save by writing into files. Use the C++ standard library's file stream std::fstream to do so.

Thank you!

Yes, animation is on the list. :] And colors!

I think I have to rewrite my screen class to support sharing variables between screens. I'm currently using http://www.sfml-dev.org/wiki/en/tutoriels/multiecransjeu_en and I try to add a static bool to that class to check if you press the "load game" option. But it won't compile.

1>main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "protected: static bool Screen::load_game" (?load_game@Screen@@1_NA)

So I'm gonna have to think of another way.

Would you mind releasing the source code so that non-Windows users can enjoy your game?

Not really. You probably forgot to define the Screen::load_game function or didn't define it exactly with the same type as declared. At least the linker cannot find the definition.

Yes, that's the plan, only it's kinda broken right now since I'm trying to make it a better game. :] But I'm having some trouble so ... well.

I just had a public static bool, no function. :\ No idea what I'm doing wrong.

Code: [Select]


class Screen
{
public:
    static bool load_game;
    virtual int Run (sf::RenderWindow &App) = 0;
};

Edit:

Code: [Select]


1>square.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "protected: static class sf::Image Square::m_White" (?m_White@Square@@1VImage@sf@@A)
1>square.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "protected: static class sf::Image Square::m_Grey" (?m_Grey@Square@@1VImage@sf@@A)

Trying to follow http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/1.4/graphics-sprite.php to get static vars working, but it's not working. Checked http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/f6xx1b1z(vs.71).aspx and I think it's got something to do with accessing the variables from other places. :\

Edit again:

Yes. When I remove the call from square.cpp the error vanishes. Hm. So calling a static variable from another file isn't allowed? :S

Ah sorry. But the problem remains the same. The variable needs to be defined in the CPP file:

Code: [Select]

bool Screen::load_game;           // or:
bool Screen::load_game = false;

If you don't initialize load_game, it is initialized with its null value (in this case false) like all static or global variables.

Aah! It works now!

Thank you so much!

Though I still think I have to rewrite some of this stuff. Trying to figure out how to make the animation.

No problem.

Trying to figure out how to make the animation.

One way is to have several sprites which represent each step of the animation. So you draw one sprite, wait a certain time, draw the next, and so on... The more steps you have, the more fluent the animation looks.

Just a question

. I was level 33 and i clicked on start game so i lose my save game... How can i revert back to level 33?

Srejv · « **Reply #11 on:** February 15, 2009, 05:12:13 pm »

Sorry, if you clicked the start game button the saved game is pretty much gone. :\ I'm working on a better way to solve the saving in a new version.

It's got animation and colors.

Daazku · « **Reply #12 on:** February 15, 2009, 06:03:50 pm »

The game crash when we close the window.
Im stuck at level 54.

Edit: Stuck at level 60!

Srejv · « **Reply #13 on:** February 15, 2009, 07:41:12 pm »

Yes, the game crash is also fixed in the new version that's coming soon. Working on it right now. :]

Good job, I like the new animations. Don't know what I think about the way you show the current level though

I also get an error when I quit the game:

'The instruction at "0x0930afda" referenced memory at "0x00000080". The memory could not be "read".'
