Thanks a lot SA
Do you know how to make my critter appear on the screen?

here is ICritter:


public interface ICritter
{
void MoveCritter(int speed);
void StopCritter();
int Speed { get; }
int Direction { set; get; }
int Energy { get; }
int Age { get; }
int GetDirectionTo(IWorldObject other);
int GetDirectionTo(int x, int y);
Rectangle GetDestination();
bool IsTerrainBlockingRouteTo(int x, int y);
bool IsTerrainBlockingRouteTo(IWorldObject other);
Strength GetStrengthOf(IOtherCritter otherCritter);
void Attack(IOtherCritter otherCritter);
}

Yeah, I am confused on how to implement the Body property.

I have been given some description about it:
Once the class that implements ICritterBrain has been loaded, CritterWorld will set this property to reference an object that provides the body of the Critter. This object implements the interface ICritter and you can call methods on this object to move your Critter, attack other Critters, etc.

Thanks a lot mate.Cheers :)

Thanks.

I think you got the info I am looking for.
I made a small change:
public ICritterBrain[] CreateCritterBrains()
and now it builds.

Regarding your Point(3).
Well I am making another class to implement ICritterBrain.
It's definition is as follows:
public interface ICritterBrain
{
string Name { get; }
string Creator { get; }
Image[] Images { get; }
ICritter Body { set; }
void Birth();
void Think();
void NotifyBlockedByTerrain();
void NotifyBumped(IWorldObject otherCritter);
void NotifyEaten();
void NotifyCloseToFood(IWorldObject food);
void NotifyCloseToCritter(IOtherCritter otherCritter);
}

Is it ok for me to make a new class that implements ICritterBrain and then store values in the objects returned by Createcritter ?

like
array1[1].Name = "Dave";

Many thanks.

thanks a lot :)

Thanks Pete.
I have done something similar.Is it right?

I copy pasted that from an example of DrawText but then I noticed and I was like Oh Boy lol. Thanks :)

Thanks a lot it worked. :)
For anyone wondering I just replaced the Textout definition with the following:
DrawText(hdc, textBuff, -1, &clientArea, DT_CENTER | DT_VCENTER);//where DT_CENTER | DT_VCENTER is just preference

Thanks, but I have tried that already.

swprintf(textBuff2, 300, L"Process %d \r\n", i+1);
wcscat(textBuff, textBuff2);
Here swprintf gets the new string i.e. Process 1 and then add it to textbuff and the loops runs again.
so process 1 process 2 process 3 gets amended to textBuff and that's the character array I am printing but it prints in a single line still.

I will try with DrawText and post my experience.
