I compiled your demo Robert - quite nice, but one comment (if you're
submitting
it as a degree project). You've declared loads of global variables in
header files.
That may work in GNU, but in most compilers you'll get multiply defined
symbols
and it'll refuse to link. CodeWarrior is an example of this....I had to
move all your
global defs into the C files and extern the refs in the header files
(always good
practise anyway) before it would build. I'm sure Peter (whose code is far
from perfect
himself) would be quite lenient about this as it's not really a coding
course as such
- but of course, he might not.....
