This code came from a book called "Beginning C++ Through Game Programming" by Michael Dawson" and the book has a set of codes and the software he used to create and run them. Whenever I try opening the codes it doesn't work. Is my computer bad or is the code bad? He is using Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express. (First post so i dont know how things will look)
I dont understand how a bad computer could have anything to do with this. Either way, nothing wrong with the actual code. Its probably something wrong with Visual Studio 2010. I would recommend getting 2013 if you can.
What errors are you getting? Could you copy paste them in here?
Also, please use code tags <> under the format section for all of your code.
It is more really of how do I run the program too, the run program file seems to be hollow and un-clickable. I do not understand how to operate this software
There is a play button in visual studio, you can click that button to compile your code, or you can press F5. I haven't used 2010 in ages, but I do know you can use F5 I do not however remember if the play buton is there.
This software you are speaking of is called msdos, it is terrible ugly... Oh shit I mean it's the godsend that created windows my friend, not much you can do with it.
