| | Uses the string comparision functions and the techniques for sorting arrays to alphabetize a list of strings. Uses the names of 10 or 15 towns in your area as data for the program. |
| | The Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL) library allows for manageable multimedia programming in console mode. Now you can mix graphics, animated or otherwise, with sound and make your game project more interesting. I am showing an example for Dev-C++ using math generated graphics, purloined from the NET, and give some instructions … |
 | A program that plays a MIDI file and stops it, and than starts a different MIDI file. The same concept applies to .wav files mciSendString("play the_file",NULL,0,NULL); starts playing it, and as expected mciSendString("stop the_file",NULL,0,NULL); stops playing it. |
| | The WinBGI package allows you to do some of the Borland BGI graphics in a specially created window form. So don't throw out the old Borland manuals, you can still use them to do some fancy graphing! Yes, you can gotoxy() again! This code was modified for Dev-C++, a real … |

| | Yep. I have no life. Here's the simplest and stupidest form of C++ coding ever known to man kind...the change counter. What does it do? Count change :-) |
| | Nothing new, but something for the neophyte to ponder. Some of the functions (algorithms) used by STL containers can be applied to a normal array to do inane things like copying, displaying, finding max/min, reversing, replacing, searching, shuffling, sorting, summation. This can really simplify your code. |
| | With the help of BCX I managed to create some C++ code that will allow you to send text to your printer and specify the font and other things. Play around with the options to suit your own needs. I have to admire the genius behind BCX, even though it … |
| | Short little sound files of chicken, horses, dogs, cars, trains and other annoying things is the realm of the wave file (.wav). These are easy to play and guaranteed to confuse grandpapa.

| | A singly (sp) and a Doubly Linked list class to create linked lists. Can be used to make dynamic arrays and could also be templated to work with any data type (this is old code and i didnt know how to at the time). Has been extremely useful to me … |
| | The Standard Template Library (STL) vector is tempting. The burden of dimensioning an array is removed, and there are many wonderful functions to explore. The learning curve is a little steep, it will make your head swell, but in the end it's all worthwhile. Take a look at some of … |
