[QUOTE=MultiPurpose;20071246]I don't know what the problem is then. Did you mess with anything?[/QUOTE]

settings? No. The stuff you told me to, yes. Copy and past to your compiler and see if it works.

[MultiPurpose]

I did, it works. Also, it's called an IDE, which is a tool to make programming projects easier. A compiler actually translates the c++ code to computer language.

Oh, well instead of editing I guess I will just copy and paste your edits if that's ok.

[editline]08:30PM[/editline]

Works now, weird.

[honeybuns]

thought id do it a different way just as a small exercise for myself

[cpp]
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <list>

using namespace std;

bool IsStringInOptionList(string s);

list<string> optionList;

int main()
{
string userInput;

cout << "Welcome to the game of life, were you win or die horribly." << endl;
cout << "You are born as a male with the name of Habeeb in the town of Facepunch" << endl;
cout << "Will you cry or stay quiet like a good child?" << endl;
cout << "Cry" << endl;
cout << "Stay quiet" << endl;

optionList.push_front("cry");
optionList.push_front("stay quiet");

cin >> userInput;

while (!IsStringInOptionList(userInput))
{
cout << "No dice, " << userInput << " is not a valid option!" << endl;
cout << "Try again.." << endl;

cin >> userInput;
}

return 0;
}

bool IsStringInOptionList(string s)
{
list<string>::iterator optionList_iterator = optionList.begin();
while (optionList_iterator != optionList.end())
{
if (s == *optionList_iterator)
return true;
else optionList_iterator++;
}

return false;
}
[/cpp]

kinda pointless :D

[AteBitLord]

Ick, ran into some kinks that make it weird, no errors so I can run ti but a few bugs, gonna watch some doctor who and work on it later.

[QUOTE=Xera;20069907]How exactly do you use templates in a generic way in an array/container in C++? Wouldn't that require reflection? I tried something for a factory, but gave up in the end.

-snip-

Garry(or everyone in general), how do you do your factories?[/QUOTE]

I haven't slept in over 24 hours but... I got this far:
[cpp]
#include <iostream>

#include "entity.hpp"

class Door : public IEntity
{
private:
static Creator<IEntity, Door> _creator;

void open()
{
std::cout << "Door opened!\n";
}

public:
virtual void use(){ open(); }
};
Creator <IEntity, Door> Door::_creator("ent_door");

int main()
{
Factory<IEntity> fac;

IEntity* door = fac.create("ent_door");

door->use();

delete door;
return 0;
}
[/cpp]

Can anyone see how I could wrap that up in one pretty macro? Because everything else works, I just need to prettify those two lines...

[AteBitLord]

Can anyone show me how to get this working? Run it in Visual C++ and you'll see what I mean, Stay quit is the right answer yet it won't work.

cout << "Cry\n";
cout << "Stay quiet\n";

cin >> userInput;

if(userInput != "Cry" && userInput != "Stay quiet")
{
cout << "Fucking retard, type out the answer\n";
cin.get();
return 0;
}

if(userInput == "Cry")
{
cout << "You fucking wimp, you cried so much you drowned yourself.\n";

return 0;
}

if(userInput == "Stay quiet")

cout << "You have aged 1 year! Keep doing good and I won't fuck you in the ass.";

Learn to use the debugger, it can be your best friend, possibly lover.

Anyway, you have to use getline(). You are only reading in the first word; because of the space.

Despite many hacky attempts, I eventually landed at this:
[cpp]
#include <iostream>

#include "entity.hpp"

class Door : public IEntity
{
FACTORY_ENTITY(Door, IEntity);

public:
virtual void use()
{
open();
}

private:
void open()
{
std::cout << "Door opened!\n";
}
};
NAME_ENTITY(Door, "ent_door");

int main()
{
Factory<IEntity> factory;

IEntity* door = factory.create("ent_door");

door->use();

delete door;
return 0;
}
[/cpp]

Doesn't really get any nicer than this when in C++ :love:

Example please, this is oh so confusing.

[jA_cOp]

[QUOTE=Eleventeen;20074802]what are factories used for anyway[/QUOTE]

A lot. It increases encapsulation and shortens code a lot because you're only dependent on one central object, the factory. So if you're working with 5 different kinds of entities in one file, you're still only depending on one module to do the object creation. It also increases encapsulation by hiding every implementation detail of the entity except for its name in string form. It increases flexibility a lot because you can dynamically choose what kind of entity to create with comparatively great runtime efficiency (a major boon if you're embedding a scripting language, for example). Of course, an entity system is just an example of what you typically use them for, everything is templated so you can apply it to any base class.

[QUOTE=high;20075086]Would be cool to see the defines :P[/QUOTE]

It just expands to what I posted earlier. I can put it up as a header-only library if anyone wants it, but right now I need some sleep.

Thanks to jA_cOp, I've finally started getting onto the LISP bandwagon. I spent a bit of time messing around with a scheme implementation, and oh man do I like it.

I think I'll make some CSFML bindings and see if that works out :v:

Okay, instead of doing

cin >> userinput;

Use std::getline to get the whole line.

[cpp]
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

int main()
{
std::string userInput;

std::cout << "Input: ";
std::getline(std::cin, userInput);

std::cout << "You entered: " << userInput;
}
