Wishbone: Well, the blog posts don't show up in the forum, and there's still no link from the forum to the blog, so... Well, I don't read it, anyway. I was under the impression that we were taking things slow. You said for us to do the first two exercises by the end of last week, so I expected something similar this week.
Well... Probably, yes. I'll put up another excercises.
Sorry, got a bit swamped with work and had little to no time to finish the design and integration. It's on my to-do list for this weekend.
Site is down?

Bodkin: Site is down?
Yep. It's down for me too. I'm stuck trying to get that stupid tic tac toe game to work. I've got the awfullest looking if else statements that ever existed :D
It's up again :-) Thank AndrewC.
It's still down for me.

DNS propagation issues unfortunately are out of my control. Try clearing your dns cache (in a command prompt ran as administrator run ipconfig -flushdns and then ipconfig -registerdns).

I can't see it either, but if I check through an US tor exit node it works.
does not load for me as well and flushing the dns down the toilet does not help too...

will try again when I am home from work.

Okay good, it works now.
New post:
Sorry for a long time without posts, I am swarmed with work :-) Well, since I see that most people didn't even finish the last C++ excercises (I know, Thebun and Adzeth :D), and some just did more, I'd just say that focus of whoever didn't finish the tutorial up to object oriented programming and want to should respond to this post. If no one responds, we're starting SDL tutorial tomorrow, and thus we'll finally get to the interesting stuff. Would that be ok? Oh also, as Tomba has already suggested, yes, we do need C++ repository. Which do you suggest?

So basically, if you guys who didn't know C++ gave up on C++, we can just jump on SDL. What do you say?
Yes, I got a bit stuck with the Tic Tac Toe one because I wanted to do a lot of extra stuff I had no idea how to do, so I'm now reworking it to the simplest version which should be possible for me.

I didn't know C++ and while I haven't given up on trying to learn it I want to jump ahead and try SDL. I don't know how to make games that use graphics and that's really what I want to learn. The classes that I took years ago never used graphics in games (text based only) and I found my drive to learn waning.

I've pretty much stalled on the Tic Tac Toe game. I made it to where the computer will actually try to win if there's an empty spot to form three in a row and will block the user if it can. However it doesn't do anything if neither of these conditions are met or if no one can possibly win.

Anyway, I'd prefer it if we just moved on and learned SDL. Will we be learning how to include graphics soon?

All right, I'll start learning it tomorrow (under Linux, just for the heck of it,) and start posting my progress.
