Hello list,
I was wondering if someone would mind looking at some code I set up.
Basically all the game is is "shoot the plane down." but I'm more worried
about the code aspect, whether I could do things better, etc.
Two thing I've noticed, that I'm not sure how to solve: sometimes the plane
engine stops, until you hit a key or move.
Also, when the game ends, the window still stays open; I'd like to kill the
game, though I'd have to kill the previous thread, then the one it's
currently in or something similar.
Other than that, I've been told the code is decent; others thoughts would be
good, too.
the source (with sounds) is at:

Again, it's not ment to be a full game, just something to help me get
familiar with game design. I'm working on ideas for another game, though
that one is going to be a lot more advanced.
Another question I have, is related to 3-d work.
I'd like to build a mapping system of sorts; I was thinking about using
something like the CVS format, that would have something like:
tile_type,sound
that would hold the type of each tile and the sound, then the tiles would
just be arranged as defined by a header.
I need to set it up so that the sound plays (which shouldn't be to hard,
after the world is initialized), but I would like to use sounds relative to
the player.
So, for example, if a player is at 2,2, the waterfall at tile 1,1 would be
behind and to the left.
Is there an easy way to set that up?
Thanks,
Tyler Littlefield
