I only have the....'learning' edition of VC++ 6.0 or whatever, so I can't distribute the executable. However, I have the source code uploaded, and you can download it here.

Here are some pictures.

Hehe, I can guess basically what it is, but you should really include more information about the game for people to read. Telling what techniques you used in development and what things were difficult to do is often interesting too.

And if you want a version of VS that you can redistribute, you should try this: http://lab.msdn.micr...lc/default.aspx

Well. I got Visual C++ 2005 and it says it doesn't recognize Windows.h when I try and include it. Which is great.

I tried checking the help, but I don't know where to look.

You have to download the SDK seperately.

Besides that I had no idea what they were talking about on that link, after installing nothing has changed. There are two possibilities.

1). I downloaded from the wrong link. There were 3 links on that page as far as I can tell and none of them make sense. I didn't understand what the difference was.

2). I need to tell VC++ where to find the headers and all that fun stuff. I don't know how to do that.

Pick door #2. Pick door #2.

Look at where you installed (Usually C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK), and look for Windows.h (Usually in the aforementioned dir, in a subdir called 'include').

Add it to your include paths inside of the project in VisualStudio, and you're laughing.

Ok, I did that. Then it tells me that the libraries that I have set up in the properties can't be found or whatever. So I give it the directory to the new libraries folder. When I do that it gives me all sorts of link errors about using functions like LoadIcon, MessageBox, etc. It gave me the same error I got while trying to use the PlaySound function without that library winmm or something like that.

So I figure that I need to include certain libraries to make the functions useful, but then when I check the documentation I realize they don't even document the Windows API. I'll stick to VC++ 6 for now.

You never heard of missile command?

You basically intercept falling missiles with your own, and you have to make sure the explosions from your missiles destroy the falling missiles, but if you fail they destroy cities (or the boxes in this case) and if they all get destroyed then you lose.
