C++ to C#

Recently, after looking a while on some sites like Gamedev I said to myself  "Why do you want to waste your time on making C++ games for fun when you could do them in C# ?" .

TicTacToe 2.0 Release

Hello everybody !
Tic Tac Toe 2.0 is out !

Captain Shutdown 2.5 Release

Here is the latest version of Captain Shutdown

QComboBox.clear error

Well , for some time now this error bugged the freak out of me .

Returning int instead of double

Here is a small but common issue that I found on CPlusPlus forum .

Captain Shutdown 2.4 Release

Here is the 2.4 version of Captain Shutdown . It includes a fixed bug of the previous version and I added a Password option that will allow you to keep the unwanted ones away :) . I'll add a Note option in the next version , which I think it will be a good add-on . Keep in touch !

Captain Shutdown 2.3 Release

Here comes the 2.3 version of Captain Shutdown . Basically , it is the same thing , I only added a Menu Bar that allows you to reset the values in an instant (Ctrl + R) and there are two "About" options that will tell you more on QtWidgets and Captain Shutdown.

Captain Shutdown 2.2 Release

Here it comes , once again :) . This version includes 3 separate boxes for seconds, minutes and hours that will update automatically after the editing is finished .

Captain Shutdown 2.1 Release

The 2.1 version of Captain Shutdown removes the Shut Down Now button , but instead it gives the default value of '0' to the lineEdit so if you open the application and press Enter it will shut down immediately.

Captain Shutdown 2.0 Release

After some struggle between TinyProjectz, school and personal life I finally finished Captain Shutdown 2.0. It is basically the same application as 1.0 except it has a GUI .

QtWidgets

While still learning to properly use QtWidgets I thought that it would be helpful to write a small post on it.

Captain Shutdown 2.0 Announcement

While I'm taking a break from Fast Ship project I thought that I should try the QtWidgets library since I heard a lot of positive reviews on it.
I'll try to learn to use QtWidgets by making a GUI version of Captain Shutdown.

Fast Ship 1.0 Update

Making a space shooter as your first game , even a very simple one as Fast Ship, isn't such a good idea after all. Of course, you learn lots of new things but you might have a hard time fixing many bugs and such things which can make you give up easily .
I will try to fix the bugs , but I don't think it's going to be over soon . So I thought I should come to something easier until I gain a little more experience.

Fast Ship 1.0 Announcement

I started working at a simple space shooter some time ago . It should have been finished a long time ago xD but I couldn't work every day and from time to time there were whole months when I didn't code at all.
So basically, this will be a very simple space shooter where you will have to shoot UFOs and they will come faster and faster and have higher HP than the previous ones and higher Attack Rate and Damage .

TicTacToe 1.0 Release

Hello !
I'm sorry for the delay but I'm really busy these days with the exams so I couldn't even create my own TicTacToe game which would only take 1 hour or less if you would build it from scratch.

I took this source code from the book : "Beginning C++ through game programming 3rd edition" by Michael Dawson , Link to his blog, Link to site
I really recommend buying this book, it suits both beginners and advanced programmers bringing a new approach on learning.

Here is the link to the source code : Link

Tic-Tac-Toe 1.0 Announcement

Tic-Tac-Toe 1.0 is going to be a simple console classic representation of the famous game.
I will add more and more feature to it as I get more time . I'm sorry for not posting anything lately but my exams are closing in and I have lots of things to do :) .

PEncrypt 1.0 Release

This is the PEncrypt 1.0 application . I presented its purpose in the announcement topic .

PEncrypt 1.0 BugQuiz #1

Try to spot the bug in this piece of code.

PEncrypt 1.0 Annoucement

PEncrypt 1.0 will be a simple text encrypter / decrypter . This project has a very big potential for improvement since encryption is widely used and this application is as basic as it gets.

Captain Shutdown 1.0 Release

This is the first release of Captain Shutdown application.

Captain Shutdown 1.0 Announcement

Captain Shutdown 1.0 will be an application that will allow you to schedule your computer to turn off after a certain amount of minutes, it will be a console application in the beginning and will only have 3 options : shut down immediately, cancel shutdown, shut down after n minutes .
Probably I will upgrade it and add more options and some nice windows , maybe passwords in the future .

Hello World!

Hello !
This blog is aimed at those who want to learn something new, and those who want to teach other people.
From time to time I will start a new project which will contain an application and everyone will be able to suggest improvements / optimizations / report bugs and all that kind of stuff. Of course, everyone can show some pieces of code in case they want it to be used in that application. If you want to get your code posted e-mail it to me at danyhk94@gmail.com .
Essentially this will be a blog where everybody will be able to learn new things practically .
Hope you will enjoy it !
