Title: Graphism
Post by: Eureka on April 30, 2010, 12:53:41 pm
Hi,
I tried to use Code::Blocks since I put Seven on my PC. But there are some problems:
When I create a new project, I select "Console Application" then C, then I give any name I want, then I press Finish. As usual. But that triggers some pbs on 7:

Warning: The wizard is about OVERWRITE the following existing file : \main.c.
Are you sure you want to OVERWRITE this file?
(If your answer is 'No', the existing file will be kept.)


I then press either Yes or No, the result remains the same:

Couldn't save project <invalid path> (Notice that I never gave any)
(Maybe this file is write-protected?)

I'm kind of desperate. What should I do ? I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, I'm not a pro.

Where do you save the project?
Do you have right for writing there?

Thanks! I saved somewhere else and it worked.
Well I have two more questions, but they have nothing to do with this. I just don't want to create n different topics.

1. Is there a way to program with a dark/black background in Code::Blocks ? the white background turns out boring.
2. I'd like to draw the Mandelbrot set or some other things like this. I know how to program this but I have no idea how to display it. I don't know at all how to use graphisms in C::B. How can I do it ?

Again, thanks.

1. Settings -> Editor -> Syntax highlight
2. Learn about GDI, OpenGL, SDL, DirectX or some other graphics library... CB is just an IDE
