ehm it's c:\winntOriginally Posted by cairnswm
you should set the windows directory by quering windows. There is an API for that
If you save your data in a proprietary format, the owner of the format owns your data.

*ahem* *cough* Please?!
Sure would like to do some more tutorials. Just a bit busy at the moment. 2 weeks into a week vacation and I feel it hasn't started yet... Done 2 concrete floors, 10m of double wall, built a pond, done a 72hour GDC. Still got to do some Paving, build a small kitchen, and all the game stuff I want to do.
I like 2D stuff. I seem to dabble in all sorts of 2D areas without really being able to specialize in any.... I have done 2D isometric, 2D puzzles, 2D platform, busy doing a 2D shooter as well. I really need to settle on a graphics library and stick with it. (I've tried DelphiX, GLXtreem and SDL - so far SDL is better but slower on older PCs. I am currently not wanting to use a DirectX 9 engine as I want my game to run on my old Pentium2).
about fonts:
Actually I should include my own ttf files with the program and load then from the application directory. I need to find some nice ttf fonts that I can use. I just prefer arial anyway. Also a Graphics font engine would be a good idea but I dont feel like going to that effort at the moment.

We finished (unofficially) 11th out of 25. That puts us into the top 50% of the entrants to the competition. So I'm pretty happy with the final result.
