Does anyone now how to work with the Program Blender?

Do you want me to make you a newbie's tutorial? I can make like 10 hour videos for YouTube.

So guys, I have a huuuuuuge problem, well besides Syrux.

SPOILER! :

Error I'm getting:
13 H:\Dev-Cpp\Projects\DirecX 11 Projects\main.cpp cannot convert `const wchar_t*' to `const CHAR*' for argument `2' to `int MessageBoxA(HWND__*, const CHAR*, const CHAR*, UINT)'

Code:
#include // include the basic windows header file

// the entry point for any Windows program
int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,
HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPSTR lpCmdLine,
int nShowCmd)
{
// create a "Hello World" message box using MessageBox()
MessageBox(NULL,
L"Hello World!",
L"Just another Hello World program!",
MB_OK);

// return 0 to Windows
return 0;
}

I'm coding in C++ by the way.

Try taking out the 'L' that you have before those two strings - it's converting them into const wchar_t * arguments, but you just want them to be const char *.

wchar_t, by the way ,is short for 'wide char'.

[jaidurn]

I did end up removing the L, but then I thought about how mundane that script actually was and scrapped it and continued with some other stuff. Thanks, man!

Working on a baseball game. I doubt it will ever be finished since it is honestly been a huge challenge so far and I don't understand physics for shit. The batting is based on pawapuro or yakyuu spirits where you move the bat cursor and that decides how you make contact with the ball.

Pitch


And a hit

How do you guys feel about this as an easy alternative to random battles.

When a battle is triggered you just get this text prompt saying, "You spot a coyote." With a choice to engage it or flee. Whether you actually can tell what you are spotting could be based on your knowledge of the enemies or a stat. So if you had never encountered an enemy before it'd say, "You see an angry dog like thing." Since the game would be based on hunting animals for materials as opposed to grinding for experience, it would be like a less frustrating version of pokemon tall grass.

Sorta sounds like Metro mixed with Pokemon mixed with Earthbound mixed with survival mixed with text adventure mixed with-

Sounds cool I guess. It all really comes down to the way you decide to execute it.

Has anyone noticed the lack of cowboy rpgs. Whats the deal with that. I feel like I personally need to rectify this.
