    • Unable to download source code for the 3rd edition book

      I have just bought Mike's Game Coding Complete 3rd edition and it looks like it is worth the money spent.

      About the book's source code, I have some trouble downloading it. I visited the google source code site and under the "Downloads" tab, there are only links to download the 3rd party libraries.

      I tried the Updates link and clicked on some of the links but it looks like they are updates to some code files, rather than the entire source code.

      I have also tried the "Read Only for Guests" svn download link under the "Source" tab using tortise svn but there was an error at the beginning of the download.

      So which is the place to download the source? Or what is the URL for the checkout using tortise svn?

      Sounds like you are doing all the right things - what was the error?

    • The error message given by tortise svn is:

      " URL 'http://gamecode3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/%20gamecode3-read-only' doesn't exist "

      What i did was to go to "http://code.google.com/p/gamecode3/", click on the Source tab and then copy the address as shown on the page.

      Which is: "http://gamecode3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ gamecode3-read-only"

      I noticed that there is a space between / and gamecode3-read-only, so i removed the space and tried again but the same URL doesnt exist message appears again.

      Is this proper way to download from svn?

      Hi,

      the space there is intended, the svn repo is under gamecode3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ and amecode3-read-only is the name of the top level folder for your working copy of the repository. So just replace %20 with a real space in your svn client and everything will work just fine :)
    • Hi, i just purchased the book a few days ago, great read, love your style Mr. Mike. I am also attempting to download the source code, v3, and i get a strange error. I have removed the %20 and put in a normal space as weng above did, but the clients seem to insert the %20 again anyway on submission.

      I took a screenshot, and have tried everything i can think of, even downloading another svn client and i get the exact same error. What am I doing wrong?

      Thanks in advance.

      Hi,

      try it without the trailing slash in the url, maybe that helps. I'm using TurtoiseSVN myself and I never had such a problem, strange...
      If nothing helps you could try a command line based svn client, you can get the official one there: collab.net/downloads/subversion/
    • Removing the ending slash didnt work unfortunately, I also tried downloading the collab net svn and tried the following while receiving the same response each time:

      C:\Documents and Settings\Alan>svn checkout gamecode3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ gamecode3-read-only
      svn: OPTIONS of 'http://gamecode3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk': 200 OK (game code3.googlecode.com)

      C:\Documents and Settings\Alan>svn checkout gamecode3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk
      svn: OPTIONS of 'http://gamecode3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk': 200 OK (game code3.googlecode.com)

      C:\Documents and Settings\Alan>svn checkout gamecode3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk gamecode3-read-only
      svn: OPTIONS of 'http://gamecode3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk': 200 OK (game code3.googlecode.com)


      I also tried SmartSVN as thats what a friend uses, I still get an error, but a different one:

      Source Code

      1. Processing PROPFIND request response failed: Content is not allowed in prolog. (/svn/trunk/%20gamecode3-read-only) PROPFIND request failed on '/svn/trunk/%20gamecode3-read-only'


      I enter it without the %20 but it sticks it in there anyway it seems. I'm on windows XP sp3, just using default windows firewall and no 3rd party programs that would mess with it. I currently use tortoise to check out from my friends svn just fine.

      Any other ideas?

I appreciate your trying to help Turing, I'm really at a loss of what to do, at least as far as checking it out myself goes. I think I'm just going to have a friend check it out for me, zip it up and email it or something.
      That's not what I meant. Try svn checkout gamecode3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ in a folder called gamecode3-read-only (or whatever you like).
    • Have you built the source and run the game yet? I'm interested to see if there are any compatibility issues with our code.
