[using a timer]

Hello,

 

Im trying to execute some code(in App Loop()) that updates my game objects every 5 seconds.

I tried implementing a timer using functions from Time api, but i wasnt very succesfull.

If someone have some code like this that works ill be happy to see.

 

So i went on and used Leadwerks thread:

 

Mutex *mutex = NULL;

long Updater::tick = 0;

 

Object* UpdateTick(Object* object)

{

while(1)

{

mutex->Lock();

Updater::tick++;

System::Print("tick: " + String(Updater::tick));

mutex->Unlock();

 

Leadwerks::Time::Delay(5000);

}

 

return NULL;

}

 

Updater::Updater(std::vector<Unit *> *units) {

this->units = units;

 

mutex = Mutex::Create();

thread = Thread::Create(UpdateTick);

}

 

Is it possible to pass an custom object to the Thread EntryPoint ?

 

static Thread* Create(Object* EntryPoint(Object* o), Object* o=NULL)

Something like Thread::Create(UpdateTick, myObjectHere).

 

I think im missing something, maybe is another way of dooing this.

 

Thanks

[projectmanager: easy way to make a copy from an project]

Just backup your project to another folder when in good state.

 

Or git/svn, there are integrated in windows on right click menu:

 

https://tortoisegit.org/

http://tortoisesvn.net/

 

Learning a version control system if good for you anyway, script kiddie will probably become programmer one day

[mouse crosshair]

Hello

 

Wanted to replace the mouse cursor with something else, so i draw a * character.

When i look around with the camera the * character it wobbles around, leaving some drawing marks.

 

I need the crosshair to stay put at the center of screen and move smoothly,

any ideea how to solve this ?

 

if(!console->isMainMenuMode()) {

context->SetBlendMode(Blend::Alpha);

context->DrawText("*", player->currentMousePosition.x, player->currentMousePosition.y);

context->SetBlendMode(Blend::Solid);

}

 

 

Camera is setup as below:

 

camera->Move(camMovement);

currentMousePosition = window->GetMousePosition();

mouseDifference.x = currentMousePosition.x - centerMouse.x;

mouseDifference.y = currentMousePosition.y - centerMouse.y;

camRotation.x += mouseDifference.y / mouseSensitivity;

camRotation.y += mouseDifference.x / mouseSensitivity;

camera->SetRotation(camRotation);

window->SetMousePosition(centerMouse.x, centerMouse.y)

[Visual Studio Community 2015 link problem]

Hello,

 

I wanted to build my project on windows also, so i installed the latest visual studio community 2015 ( i think is visual studio version 14).

It compiles just fine but at the linking stage i got this kind of erros:

 

2>Leadwerks.lib(Leadwerks.obj) : error LNK2038: mismatch detected for '_MSC_VER': value '1800' doesn't match value '1900' in main.obj

2>Leadwerks.lib(String.obj) : error LNK2038: mismatch detected for '_MSC_VER': value '1800' doesn't match value '1900' in main.obj

2>Leadwerks.lib(FileSystem.obj) : error LNK2038: mismatch detected for '_MSC_VER': value '1800' doesn't match value '1900' in main.obj

 

Seems to not be compatible with the static lib from Leadwerks.

 

Any way to fix this ? besides me installing some older version of visual studio

Maybe a static lib version built for visual studio 14

 

Thanks

[Example c++ project with cmake]

Just started with Leadwerks.Heres a way to build a project with cmake on linux.

 

Start from an existing project (lets call it Proj):

 

Copy

~/.steam/steamapps/common/Leadwerks

into Source/Libs.

Now you have Proj/Source/Libs/Leadwerks (this directory contains all the header files and static libs needed).

 

Can use this Libs dir to add any other external libs you need.

 

Here is the CMakeLists.txt:

CMakeLists.txt

 

Copy to the root of the project.

cmake . and make

 

 

Will work on windows also with some modifications.

 

~/Documents/Leadwerks/Projects/test/Projects/Linux/Proj check the codeblocks project (Proj.cbp, Proj.depend) if you need to add more to the CMakeLists.txt.

 

Hope this helps.
