Yeah, I don't care if they cheat at all highscore...But for example, in the game where you have virtual coins or upgrades which can user get only if he played long enough or has spent some money in in-app purchase programmers should care about cheating. Because if user can make unlimited coins the whole purpose of in-app purchase is defeated. And second, I would like to think that my game is not vunerable :) At least not much... — Whirlwind 3 mins ago

Did you use IMG_INIT_PNG in your setup? Did you possibly forgot to include SDL_image.h? (Taken from the first tutorial I found.) — Jongware 35 secs ago

negative one for missing the point. counting cycles keeps you on the way, when we oop-programmers writing two or three classes here? — Aitch 1 min ago

@user3905353 - Just wanted to add a little more context to my previous comment. SO is designed to help solve programming problems and build a library of answers to help solve them. In this instance the problem you posted how to solve "syntax error, unexpected tIVAR, expecting end-of-input" is solved by adding the missing "end"statements. Other novice programmers who search SO for similar problems will not be able to solve it by simply removing class and method definitions as this solution dictates. This simply is not a real world solution to the problem you posted. — heading_to_tahiti 45 secs ago

Well @dk... I did check but I did not copy paste... Retyped here and hence typing mistake. Anyways... Some good points by you are probably genuine... But do you want me to explain what promises are in an answer. Also... Stackoverflow is a place for programmers to get help in problems... Biggest part of that would be helping them in understanding the mistake in their code... Not just how to fix it... And neither by providing a functionally pure, idiomatic scala solution. — Sarvesh Kumar Singh 1 min ago

+1 for "IF NOT EXIST" as a robust way for apps to ensure that tables exist without risk of disturbing extant database contents. Programmers new to DBMS coding should take this to heart and also consider learning about "migrations" frameworks to ensure that their schema is maintained in sync with their code. — Jim Dennis 1 min ago

The class Vehicle<T extends Vehicle<T>> construct is a highly advanced and extremely rarely used construct implemented only by veteran programmers who usually try it for a while and then decide that it was a bad idea and revert to something far simpler. — Mike Nakis 58 secs ago

No, this is not a typical VS2013 problem, you're on your own. When you have a problem that hundreds of thousand other programmers don't have then you suspect your machine first. Try another one. Or you can call Microsoft Support and they'll ask you to do otherwise unguessable things to arrive at a diagnostic. Which might well be "try another machine" :) — Hans Passant 1 min ago

I thought this was a site for professional and enthusiast programmers. However, this Q&A shows that it's also a playground for noobs. Noobs sharing error-prone code. Future readers: Do as the pros: Set option strict On. Even Jeff Atwoods, the co-founder of Stack Overflow, says that "You should ALWAYS turn Option Strict On for every application". — Bjørn-Roger Kringsjå 56 secs ago

@TobiasJohansson The shift is faster than division, but its compiler's job, not programmers, to make the substitution. — dasblinkenlight 55 secs ago

:-))) I agree with you somewhat. I've migrated to Java then Scala after C++11. Actually C++ is now too complex and too broad for single language - this results 'several languages in one'. But reality is - C programmers often learn C++ and (which makes the deal) then they return to C and become real programmers - after this they start to be language-agnostic. :-| — Roman Nikitchenko 1 min ago

Please be aware, user (application) level timers are inaccurate. This is root cause of many issues where programmers did not pay attention. — Roman Nikitchenko 1 min ago

@Alex Because, it is convention. Coding conventions are a set of guidelines for a specific programming language. Software programmers are highly recommended to follow these guidelines to help improve the readability of their source code and make software maintenance easier. I recommend to read this. — Farhad Jabiyev 1 min ago

@BsD: No, assemblers doesn't need to follow the instruction sets at all, anyone could invent their own set if they liked, but keeping close to the defined set means that a lot of programmers already know it. One notable exception is CIL used in the .NET framework, a object oriented assembly language which compiles into bytecode that is not specific to any CPU. When the code is executed, it's first converted by the JIT (just-in-time) compiler to machine code for the specific CPU where it will run. — Guffa 29 secs ago

@jww questions like this are typically closed as too broad at Programmers. It's also unclear what help asker needs. — gnat 1 min ago
