So this is annoying, I found libfontconfig2-.dll online and downloaded it, and then I got an error asking for xmlparse.dll, downloaded it, then it wanted xmltok.dll, downloaded it, then it wanted freetype6.dll, downloaded it, THEN it gives me the wtf error message: "The procedure entry point FT_Glyp...

Yeah heres the weird part though, I run it, with libcairo2.dll in the same directory as my .exe, I installed the .a and the .bis are all there BUT= I'm still getting "The program can't start because libfontconfig-1.dll is missing from your computer"

You would be surprised, for someone who has as much programming experience as I do how quickly I get lost by compiler mechanics.

Awesome thanks for the help everyone. Last thing though, where do I find cairo.dll.a files? They aren't included on the GTK website.

I tried including it using the dll that I found and I get the same error regrading the fontlib, does anyone else get this?

so I will need to include some cairo dll with the release of my executable? I found the download for just cairo and all it includes is the dll

Uhh yeah I'm bad with external libraries. So what will I need to do? I get ill need to include the FB header for it, will I need to include a copy of libcairo2 with my exe? Also when I try and run the FB clock example it says its missing some library that has to do with fonts. This should be an easy...

Honestly when I wrote it I was following the standard to the ECB variation of DES to the T. ECB cause you can easily adapt it to be CBC from the straight up ECB variation if need be. If you want a legitimate encryption code, I wrote an AES implementation in FB thats somewhere in this sub-forum if yo...

intersting to see this come up again. yeah if you really wanted to you could just shave off every trailing zero after the data is decrypted, its actually how the algorithm is designed: to round lengths up to a multiple of 8 bytes. No real good way around it : /

I've seen similar functionality in "Cryptolab" from ejc cryptography for sending e-mails but recieving them is a different story and I'd like to do both so yeah I'm with ya

Alright, whose had experience, OR knows of some FB resource for sending and checking e-mail from an arbitrary account (hotmail, gmail, something like that)

I know nothing about this sort of topic, have read about it but don't really know where to go. If anyone knows whats up, thanks!

yah thats the plan actually, two modes, classic and arcade. classic where you play through stages and arcade where you just play straight through non-stop with increasing difficulty. I'm adding strawberries and blueberries and then some other interesting enemies next. The idea is that the enemies yo...

At least someone tell me how it plays!

A demo of something intended to be silly (but still cool) that I'm working on. Currently, the demo only has 4 enemies and 2 guns, obviously much more is in the works. Test it out, tell me its fun so I have a reason to make it into something :) NOTES: -the ship graphic is a placeholder. -to try the o...

In other words, I have the routines, but they need to work together in a certain way, and I can do that... but how to structure them well is what I'd like some help with.
