[QUOTE=Aerosol;16793838]Yeah, particles would be cool.

As a side note: Using XNA seems like it could definitely get in the way of writing reusable code.[/QUOTE]

It does, In a way. - But that's probably because I didn't really udnerstand it fully, Somne things just seemed overly complicated than they needed to be (Sound)

[QUOTE=jmanmc;16791330]You should check your spelling of console in the declaration.

I'm also going to take this post to show everyone my cool menu item in litestep. I simply push the windows key on my keyboard, and this nice menu pops up. All I have to do is click on my programming environment option, and it launches everything I need:
1. Zune software for the listening of beats.
2. Visual C++ for programming.
3. C++ Primer Plus for reading and learning.

All from the click of a button. It's useful as hell and looks awesome too. Instead of launched three seperate programs, I just have to click on one thing. Here's a picture of it.

I think my Colour pllette mathematics went awry somewhere, I wanted 25 USEFUL colours, not 20 pinks and ocean blue.

I'm at a loss on how to generate a usefull palette, My game loads a file full of Hue Values (I'm going to change this to RGB) but I need to create a usefull palette.

Happened to me too when I tried to make a palette, but I eventually fixed it and used this code:

[QUOTE=lemongrapes;16791912]Ya, anyone know any tutorials which actually indent properly? Or would I be better of buying C++ Primer Plus or something?[/QUOTE]

Indentation can be very helpful when debugging code, especially early on when you're still learning about program flow (branches, loops, function calls etc). Indenting function definitions is useful because there will be a clearer boundary between code in the global scope and code within a function (the two have different semantics), making you less prone to misplace something. It also marks the border between different function definitions better, so when you throw a quick look you don't make the wrong judgment.

Indenting branches and loops is useful for seeing the program flow easier. Python, as mentioned, relies entirely on indentation to denote program flow, which says a bit about how potent indentation is for doing just that.

There are more advantages, but I hope I made my point already :)

[lemongrapes]

(praise the lord collision detection gets much more trivial when GetRect() comes with SFML 2)

[jak]

How could it be any more trivial? It's just like AABB square collisions

[HubmaN]

Using a floatrect with its position + width and position+height and calling sf::Rect<T>::Intersect() with another (which is what it does anyway) is hella compact in a Model class. The only thing about them is that sf::Rects aren't currently used *anywhere* else within SFML.

(also, superuser is live!!!!one)

[jak]

Oh hmm, I didn't really know about sf::Rect::Intersect() but I have some random ugly function
[cpp]bool squareinsquare(int x1, int y1, int w1, int h1, int x2, int y2, int w2, int h2) {
