I've used it so I'm okay with the it but was just wondering if you knew if it would work. I'll give it a shot and update on how it went later.Matthew wrote:fstream is a C++ class which I've never used. You may try it and it can work but I wouldn't know how to help.
Yep. I did some simple stuff: http://codepad.org/XuJefoZwMatthew wrote:You are going to try to create a Ruby to C++ converter now?

That part I understoodMatthew wrote:Converting the OOP to C++ will be easier than converting to C because C doesn't do OOP like C++ does.
That would be cool. I was wondering if that was possible myself.Matthew wrote:A c source file, yes. I might include some option to pass the result to gcc for compilation.
I noticed the bracket thing too...but anyway; you may want to try these forums http://www.cplusplus.com/forum It's C++ but they could probably still help.Matthew wrote:I have a problem with my char pointers (C strings). A char pointer changes and I don't know why. It's breaking my pointer arithmetic which in turn results in a number too large for strncpy and hence a buffer overflow.

I could have told you thatMatthew wrote:I had an answers which was correct. I wasn't allocating enough memory for the stack.
I've always wanted to start my own business as well; taking business classes to teach me some of the challenges that could potentially await. The thing is, I want to become a Computer Scientist with a higher knowledge in the branch of game/simulation development. The problem being that you can't get a paycheck for years and even then the game might not sell. I guess I could work IT and game program with a team on the side, release the game, hope to get a publisher's attention, and go from there. That's a lot of hope and ifs though.Matthew wrote:I want to run my own business. Likely computer related. I've just started a degree called Enterprise development.
