The Powder Toy

Jack-Punter

SOLVED:
So I just followed the steps here:
https://powdertoy.co.uk/Wiki/W/Compiling_tpt%2B%2B_with_Visual_studio.html
to get the source code into Visual studio so that I could contribute to the development of The Powder Toy.

I was going to start by removing some of the C arrays from:
https://github.com/ThePowderToy/The-Powder-Toy/issues/570
and for some reason, working in the data/shaders.h file

when i do #include <string> i dont get any errors. But for some reason when i do std:: intellisense only pops up with std::nullptr_t and for some reason doesn't find anything else inside the std namespace.

Am i doing something wrong or just being stupid.

FIX:
Ok fixed the issue. for some reason in Configuration Properties > C/C++ > Language, there was nothing set for C++ Language Standard... Set that to ISO C++ Latest draft and it found the STL agian :)

I'm not really sure, intellisense can be really buggy sometimes. You may want to google it, probably you would have to delete some files and have it regenerate the intellisense database.

Also, we want to use the new String class, not std::string, because String supports unicode and that's more difficult in an std::string

Edit: oh you already fixed it, great

I'll take a look when I get stuff to work. had a PC crash which corrupted the files :| so I tried reinstalling and had loads of issues so now I'm following the "compiling for windows with scons" guide. and I got to the end. it compiles but when I try to run I get this error:

"

"

Ill make this a new post

It would be nicer to just keep using this post

Also why are you using scons now? You just said visual studio works. Is that error you posted for visual studio, or for scons?

Missing std:: in Visual studio solution.
