[C/Ncurses]Need help on a project
Hi guys I'm a newbie.Got a school project:need to convert Linux Hunt game,which is in K&R C to C99.I got some problems over Ncurses files:new library it's very different from the old one.There are some variables that with gcc are considered undefined 'cause they are no more used in the new Ncurses lib.
I'm not able to understand what those variables are supposed to do and how to rewrite it to make the code work(also WINDOWS structure changed and _y attribute for redraw the map is no more used).I wish someone could help,the sauce it's Linux downloadable so I do not add any codes(hunt is the bsd-games packet,c.files with ncurses are in the hunt dir).Thanks to anyone who is going to help.

You may have been beaten to the punch, though comparing this to the version you have may be a good rosetta stone for how curses has changed...

Please post in the homework forum following the homework rules, or we really can't help you.
