GL Lighting

[RetroX]

I could spend several hours looking across the internet to find an answer to my question, but maybe someone here knows an answer.

Why isn't the lighting working?

Is it SFML, or is my code wrong?

[retep998]

Like yo?
are you using C instead of c++?
and like wheres the headers?
whats with everything being all weird?
like really retro?
wtf?

[RetroX]

I forgot that I used my header for it. :/

It should compile, now.

And .cc is C++.

[retep998]

you use something other than regular sfml.
where are your sfml namespaces?
all your shit is weird.
I ain't touching that fucking shit with a 50 foot pole until you can learn to use normal c++ with .cpp and .h files, using standard libraries, and the ability to be compiled in both mingw and vc++ with ease.

I guess he means you're writing in C-style, when you should be writing in C++-style. Also, your indentation is messed up.

I updated the file.

I made a header with typedefs for SFML classes for my ease of use.  I forgot that I included them, and I updated the file to take them out.

.cc and .hh are completely standard C++ file extensions.  .h isn't even a C++ extension; .hpp is.  .c and .h can be used for C++, but it's not common.

And score_under, how is the indentation messed up?  It's two spaces, and I specifically checked for tabs to make sure that it would remain constant.

I'm fairly sure you're the only person in the world who thinks that this:

Code: [Select]

while(doSomething())
  {
  doSomethingElse();
  }is prettier than this:

Code: [Select]

while(doSomething())
{
  doSomethingElse();
}

I'm with him. Indentation belongs to the block that follows the conditional. Very much like indentation-based languages, like Python. You indent every line belonging to the conditional. For example, consider if you wrote it without the block brackets. You'd still indent the line.

  doSomethingElse();
}

Almost every programmer that I know codes like the first one except for the ones here.  Although, I kind of agree with you, I've been stuck like this for a long time. >_>

I code like the first one. See LateralGM. In C and GML, I usually code like this, though:

Code: [Select]

while (doSomething()) {
  doSomethingElse();
}

and then the newprogrammerfag comes in and writes like this:

Code: [Select]

while (doSomething())
  {
      doSomethingElse();
  }

Oh god, I hate that.

[RetroX]

Ism, I hate your method worse. :/

Although what's the worst is 8-space tabs.

And now that we're talking about programming styles, is there anyone who has the slightest idea about what the problem that I'm having is? :/

[score_under]

Although what's the worst is 8-space tabs.

Except in Assembler, when it's sometimes acceptable.

Also, my tabs are set to width 2. It really picks up on those people who mix tabs and spaces, most programmers seem to use 4 space tabs nowadays

At least my method has some logic behind it.
