well, i've found out how to fix the errors the compiler is giving me when i try to set up a button with 'NULL' passed as the last parameter: you ignore it.
no, seriously. just compile the code anyway and it runs fine. i've also figured out how to make text appear, though i'm honestly still working on getting it to function for what i want to use it for (displaying game-related text to the player). going to spend some time toying with code, getting frustrated, and then giving up to play minesweeper for a few minutes before coming back to it. for the curious, my best time is 181 seconds on expert. it helps distract me from the growing realization that i'm basically going to have to re-code the entire entire to make it work with the gui, although there will be a decent amount of stuff that i can (almost) copy and paste that has to do with things like classes, function declarations, and simple data. this also might be a good place to learn how to use xml with c++, but on the upside, i should be able to pop up a dialogue box now so you can save wherever you like, name saves whatever you like, and try to load files that have nothing to do with the game.
in other words, i am doing more than just writing fluff for the world.
