C++ errors

[PcWizKid]

I just wrote the simple program in c++ and tried compiling it I keep getting a few errors that i cant seem to fix.

 

here is my code:

#include "Engine.h"

 

int main(int argc, char** argv)

{

//Load engine Dll

Initialize();

 

//Create Main Game graphics window

Graphics (800,600,0,0,GRAPHICS_BACKBUFFER+GRAPHICS_DEPHBUFFER);

 

//Create World

;CreateWorld();

 

//Create a camera

TEntity cam;

cam=CreateCamera(0);

MoveEntity(cam,Vec3(0,0,-5));

 

//Create Cube

CreateCube(0);

 

//MainLoop

while (!KeyHit(KEY_ESCAPE)) {

//UpdateWorld

UpdateWorld(1);

 

//Render the world

RenderWorld(RENDER_ALL);

 

//FLip Buffer

Flip(1);

 

}

 

Terminate();

 

return 0

 

 

}

 

 

 

 

}

 

 

 

 

and here are the errors im getting

whats a DEPHBUFFER? and why a semicolon before CreateWorld?

 

and fyi, the button '<>' in the menu bar is for code...

Corrected this problems still no fix

The error console says it all

 

1. GRAPHICS_DEPHBUFFER should be GRAPHICS_DEPTHBUFFER (You missed the 'T')

 

2. and ;CreateWorld(); should be CreateWorld (); (Don't put a semi colon before CreateWorld().......

 

3. You have too many of } these. Parenthesis always need to match up.so delete the last one

 

 

You should learn what the error messages mean. eg:

error C2065: 'GRAPHICS_DEPHBUFFER' : undeclared identifier

means that the compiler doesn't know what GRAPHICS_DEPHBUFFER is..... first thing to do is to check your spelling because it has to be exact or the computers not gonna guess what you meant

 

1>c:\users\pointersoftworks\desktop\projects\darkage\darkage\darkage.cpp(51) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '}'

Syntax errors usually come down to missing a ; or having mis-matching parenthesis ({}) etc. Double click on the error messages and it should show you exactly where they problem is in most of these cases.

now a error box is popping up saying

 

"Unhandled exception at 0x00000000 in DarkAge.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation."

Hmm the only thing I can see is this: #include "Engine.h" It should read #include "engine.h"

 

C++ is case sensitive so you need to specify it it exactly as its written. Also make sure you set up your VC++ project correctly.

 

Have you used C++ before or is this your first time?

If you haven't used it much before I would suggest going to www.cprogramming.com and do the c++ beginners tutorial and getting some of the basics down. It will help you get to know it better.

Is your exe in the same dir as your dll's? Are all your resources in the right spot?

Hi PcWizKid

 

I can see that you are new to C++ programming. Nothing bad about that, you are welcome

Everyone has to start somewhere. Here is my recommendation to you.

 

1. Use the LEBuilder to create a C++ project for you. This way you will be sure that everything is correctly setup regarding Visual Studio files and paths.
   
2. Study the created 'rotating cube' sample so you understand whats going on.
   
3. If there are things that you doesn't understand in that sample don't shy to ask in the forum. We will help
   
4. When you understand the sample you can wipe out the sample code and replace it with your own, or change the sample code at your desires.
   

 

Good luck

Roland
