As mentioned before, the program would be considered sub-standard by all but the most simplistic of gamers. What do you mean by "the program itself"?

Do you mean the effect produced on screen, do you mean the 'clever' way that you've spaghetti-coded the game-logic into the WinMain function?

The result is far from stunning and the only redeeming feature I can think of is, er, um. I'll think of it in a minute.



I'll bet that Gaddafi, Hussein & Bin Laden would have all preferred less criticizing. But what are you going to do? Give praise when it's not due?

I'm not saying, nor inferring for a microsecond that you are a terrorist or would fit into that particular crowd. But, you've asked for the opinions of people on your game. Do you really think you're being done a favour if people purposefully neglect to point out areas that may be improved - or give praise in areas where praise would be inconceivable?

Clearly from both your image and the views you expressed in the lounge the other day in the thread that included jogging, Stephen Hawking and women - you're on the younger end of the spectrum of people found on the board. There are likely folk around here that have been retired for longer than you've been alive!
[EDIT:] I see from your TennmanRecords account that you're only 14. No wonder the responses have been as they have.

Perhaps it would gain you a response closer to the one you expect if you preface it with something like:

"Hi everybody, I've just begun learning C on the MS Windows platform, and have managed to cobble together the start of a very simple Dungeons'n'Dragons/ Leisure Suit Larry/Hugo's House Of Horrors/*insert appropriate title here* type game. I realize that it's rather basic, though I have thoroughly enjoyed using it to further understand some C/Windows programming concepts. Is there anything that I could do to improve this program, to make it (*)more readable (*)faster (*)exhibit less flickering (*) more maintainable?"

However, with a thread title of "Hey guys, mind telling me what you think of my first actual game with updating of movement?" and the responses you've given to all/any opinions, with time you'll come to understand why nobody's gone out of their way to make you feel warm and fuzzy. (We're not your parents or teachers in a Politically Correct system)

You asked what people thought, and were told. In my first post[^] about this game I offered you constuctive criticizm, encouragement and a suggestion for improving your program.
In your response, you neglected to thank me for the advice and encouragement, but instead came back with this whining reply:

"BUT the approach I've taken got the job done, didn't it?

All in all, bad coding or not, you still have a working game(assuming someone actually compiled and tested the code)."


Please, just stop your moaning and get on with it! Expect praise when it's due (and understood to be so). Smile | :)

Thanks for the entertainment.....Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:
