Recently i have been trying to run games that include a header file, I was wondering why i get the error messege saying it dosnt exsist? And where i could get it? I am running Dev c++, on windows me, Yes sadley it is true :[, My linux box is down right now. I would really appreatieate the help. Here is the source code if needed, Note i did not write this sorcecode. #include #include #include #include #include #include int mark(int,int,int,int); int num_fix=0,g=1; int lev[501],ro[501]; void main() { int d=DETECT,m;

Graphics.h is an old, old header file. You cannot use it with Dev-C++. If you are looking for an easy way to do graphics, without worrying about GDI or DirectX, I would recommend SDL or Allegro.

Thank you VERY much!!!

Could you give me a good place to go to get source code to mess with with this current stuff?

http://sdldoc.csn.ul.ie/. Best of all, when you get your Linux box running, your SDL code will compile and run with it too .

Thanks!! And my linux box aint up right now cause i dont got a mother baord. Im running on a laptop, and im too lazy to put linux on it.

if I am not mistaken, graphics.h is a library from Old Borland''s Turbo C++, I am not sure but I think it has become some sort of free/shareware compiler, if you still want to try to compile it, you might want to look for Turbo C++ at Borland''s site (sorry, I dont have the URL), or I am sure it must be somewhere in a abandoneware site.

Compiling with Dev C++ wont work even if you have the libs and headers because 1) Mingw32 does not support Borland object files (hence lib files), it does suport Microsofts, BUT 2) the graphics.h and graphics.lib files are 16 bit DOS libs, all current compilers are 32 bit, including Mingw32 (the one used by Dev C++).

I think you can get to compile in 16 bits with VC++ but you have to get an older version of the linker.

Yeah, it is from the BGI. I hated that library so much...

I made my first games on BGI. One was Little Billy the Alien Boy. Had a really crappy tile engine and everything. *Sigh* Good times, good times…but man it was slow

Doh! That double post up there is me. Sorry about that.
