C++ Breakout clone problem

[robfinalfantasy]

How did you define the vector 'bricks'? I noticed that you are using the variable i in the for loop to run through the columns. The problem is that the first set of brackets is used for rows not columns. I get the feeling you mixed them up.


The vector should have been defined:

brick bricks[NUM_ROWS][NUM_COLUMNS];

not

brick bricks[NUM_COLUMNS][NUM_ROWS];

Of course this does not matter if you intentionally decided to use the rows constant to represent columns and the columns constant to represent rows, but somehow I doubt that was the case.

If you're not sure about what I said try experimenting with the following matrix

int matrix[3][3] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, };
//Think of the array as the following matrix
// 1 2 3
// 4 5 6
// 7 8 9
cout < < matrix[0][1]; //prints 2
cout < < matrix[1][2]; //prints 6
cout < < matrix[2][2]; //prints 9
//Thus matrix[i][j] refers to the integer element found at row i and column j
