The only solutions I found online were to try again after deleting the temp folder and to use the ISO installer both of which I tried. Any ideas?

Make your tile have an altitude attribute?
-1 = underground
0 = ground
1 = highground
2 = sky
This is also useful if you want to check if a tank can get across that tile or not. Could use also bit shifting for better performance if that concerns you too much.

Which is basically just adding a z-axis. I don't see any way around it.

OpenGL is really good, once you get all the libraries and DLL's installed. It was kind of a pain to do on Windows 7 64 bit; it kept saying it couldn't find files that I was absolutely sure were in the right place, but once it's installed, its great.
I used Visual Studio 2007, but I wouldn't recommend it, as the IDE's built-in debugger causes more problems than it solves. For instance, it absolutely will not run anything involving image maps if you try to run it within the environment. You have to compile it and run it as a stand-alone, which can be annoying if you have to test-run it a lot.
I would suggest using Eclipse for your IDE, as its been great whenever I've used it, though to be honest, I never used it for graphical work. Late reply, but I felt a thanks was on it's place. I will try Eclipse out.
You're very welcome. Happy I could help.

What about different tile classes? WaterTile, GroundTile, SkyTile, etc... all of them implementing a common interface, for example.
No idea whats better or whats worse, just throwing some ideas.
Edit: sorry, so many edits...

yeah i was leaning towards the altitude attribute, still better than adding a z-axis. I guess I'll have to go with that.

C++ is 10.0.30319 for x86 and x64, but nothing for C that I see.

So, I am about to finish up my B.A. in Mathematics here next semester and I plan on continuing on to graduate school (the application process was a gigantic pain in the ass). Anyway, I realized that I need to do some coding every so often and that there are probably languages better suited to my needs than java.
I don't do any finite combinatorics and very rarely do I do any computationally heavy work. However, I have found the need to graph increasingly accurate approximations of certain functions. If anyone is familiar with continuous and nowhere differentiable functions, those are the sorts of things I would want to graph. For example, I recently wrote a paper in my Analysis course and I wanted to graph an approximation the following:
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/39AUT.jpg)
Unfortunately, I do not know of a way to implement this. If someone knows of a language that is well suited to handle this sort of thing, feel free to let me know. My exposure to languages is rather minimal, so I really do not know how far one can go with programming. Also, I apologize if this is not the appropriate place to post this.

I dont know how to code with it, so I can't help any further, but I'm pretty sure that is what you need.

I uninstalled all things c++ 2010 and it made the install work.
Thanks

I'm guessing that System.out.print(args[0]); is a way to input, but an error comes up saying java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 0.
That is happening because you aren't running the program with any input like they show in the example. If you've followed that tutorial up to where you're at, executing using
"% java UseArgument Bob"
should work just fine. Basically, the args[] array is an array of Strings that is populated using your input after the execution command. That program tries to use the first String in that array, but since you've entered none, the print call is looking at a part of the array with nothing in it. In other words, as your error states, the array index is out of bounds.

Where do I exactly type in % java UseArgument Bob?

I remember reading a topic on game development and thought I should share what I learned.
You should do that if the differences between each tile are so big that it warrants separate classes for each. The problem with doing things like this is that in large scale games with many different objects, tiles, enemies, etc. you'll end up having loads of classes with no real functionality for each. Whereas aggregation could have solved your problem easily.

I've been trying to make a simple c# program that can read the currently playing song from windows media player (not an embedded object), but damn if that isn't a lot harder than I expected.
It'd probably be quicker to just learn c++ -_-

From your command prompt. in the same folder as UseArgument.class
C:\files\UseArgument.java
eg.
C:\files\: javac UseArgument.java
C:\files\: java UseArgument argument

C# and .NET should make that easier to do than trying to use C++ especially if you are a C++ newb.

To do that in C++ will require you to know some basic things like hooking processes and using various API calls. I'm pretty sure it's easier in C#.
