Dev C++ How To Change From Overwrite Mode

Hey all, I'm trying to understand how to change my game mode, for example if I start up the 'car' template scene and I then want to create an arch-vis character or third person character. I've followed a tutorial but whenever I click 'play' it defaults to the car game mode even if I've changed it in 'GameMode override' and changed the default. #73 Selecting a color-theme doesn't change color list, at first. Steps needed to reproduce the problem: Open 'Tools = Editor Options = Colors' and first scroll down the list (starting with 'Assembler') and note the current Background colors. Select one of the color themes in the list. Just hit the 'insert' key on your keyboard once more. It's usually near the 'delete' (not backspace), scroll lock and 'Print Screen' (often above the cursor keys in a full size keyboard.) This will switch back to insert mode and turn your cursor into a vertical line rather than a rectangle.

I am currently using Dev C++ program for the program I write in. I was wondering if there are any free download programs out there that are a text editor? I mean by giving it a black background, certain key words are highlighted to different colors? I know there is one like it for another program, Visual Studios I believe. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Which Dev are you using?

I believe I'm using v4.9 and I always give myself a--

>Black Background
>Green text
>Red paranthesis/brackets
>Yellow Hexadecimal/Octal

etc...

I think you just need to go to your environment options to make the edits.

Edit: Go to your Editor options and go to Syntax - you can make the changes there.

Use Device Mode to approximate how your page looks and performs on a mobile device.

Device Mode is the name for the loose collection of features in Microsoft Edge DevTools that help you simulate mobile devices. These features include:

Limitations

Think of Device Mode as a first-order approximation of how your page looks and feels on a mobile device. With Device Mode you do not actually run your code on a mobile device. You simulate the mobile user experience from your laptop or desktop.

There are some aspects of mobile devices that DevTools will never be able to simulate. For example, the architecture of mobile CPUs is very different than the architecture of laptop or desktop CPUs. When in doubt, your best bet is to actually run your page on a mobile device. Use Remote Debugging to view, change, debug, and profile the code of a page from your laptop or desktop while it actually runs on a mobile device.

Simulate a mobile viewport

Click Toggle Device Toolbar to open the UI that enables you to simulate a mobile viewport.

Figure 1

The Device Toolbar

By default the Device Toolbar opens in Responsive Viewport Mode.

Responsive Viewport Mode

Drag the handles to resize the viewport to whatever dimensions you need. Or, enter specific values in the width and height boxes. In Figure 2, the width is set to 626 and the height is set to 516.

Show media queries

To show media query breakpoints above your viewport, click More options and then select Show media queries.

Figure 3

Show media queries

Click a breakpoint to change the width of the viewport so that the breakpoint gets triggered.

Set the device type

Use the Device Type list to simulate a mobile device or desktop device.

Figure 5

The Device Type list

The table below describes the differences between the options. Rendering method refers to whether Microsoft Edge renders the page as a mobile or desktop viewport. Cursor icon refers to what type of cursor you see when you hover over the page. Events fired refers to whether the page fires touch or click events when you interact with the page.

OptionRendering methodCursor iconEvents fired
MobileMobileCircletouch
Mobile (no touch)MobileNormalclick
DesktopDesktopNormalclick
Desktop (touch)DesktopCircletouch

Note

If you do not see the Device Type list, click More options and select Add device type.

Mobile Device Viewport Mode

To simulate the dimensions of a specific mobile device, select the device from the Device list.

Rotate the viewport to landscape orientation

Click Rotate to rotate the viewport to landscape orientation.

Note

The Rotate button disappears if your Device Toolbar is narrow.

Show device frame

When simulating the dimensions of a specific mobile device like an iPhone 6, open More options and then select Show device frame to show the physical device frame around the viewport.

Note

If you do not see a device frame for a particular device, it probably means that DevTools just does not have art for that specific option.

Add a custom mobile device

To add a custom device:

  1. Click the Device list and then select Edit.
Figure 11

Selecting Edit

  1. Click Add custom device.

  2. Enter a name, width, and height for the device. The device pixel ratio, user agent string, and device type fields are optional. The device type field is the list that is set to Mobile by default.

Show rulers

Click More options and then select Show rulers to see rulers above and to the leftof your viewport. The sizing unit of the rulers is pixels.

Zoom the viewport

Use the Zoom list to zoom in or out.

Throttle the network and CPU

To throttle the network and CPU, select Mid-tier mobile or Low-end mobile from the Throttle list.

Figure 16

The Throttle list

Mid-tier mobile simulates fast 3G and throttles your CPU so that it is 4 times slower than normal. Low-end mobile simulates slow 3G and throttles your CPU 6 times slower than normal. Keep in mind that the throttling is relative to the normal capability of your laptop or desktop.

Note

The Throttle list will be hidden if your Device Toolbar is narrow.

Figure 17

The Device Toolbar

Throttle the CPU only

To throttle the CPU only and not the network, go to the Performance panel, click Capture Settings , and then select 4x slowdown or 6x slowdown from the CPU list.

Figure 18

The CPU list

Throttle the network only

To throttle the network only and not the CPU, go the Network panel and select Fast 3G or Slow 3G from the Throttle list.

Figure 19

The Throttle list

Or press Control+Shift+P (Windows) or Command+Shift+P (macOS) to open the Command Menu, type 3G, and select Enable fast 3G throttling or Enable slow 3G throttling.

Figure 20

The Command Menu

You can also set network throttling from the Performance panel. Click Capture Settings and then select Fast 3G or Slow 3G from the Network list.

Override geolocation

To open the geolocation overriding UI click Customize and control DevTools... and then select More tools > Sensors.

Figure 22

Sensors

Or press Control+Shift+P (Windows) or Command+Shift+P (macOS) to open the Command Menu, type Sensors, and then select Show Sensors.

Figure 23

Show Sensors

Select one of the presets from the Geolocation list, or select Custom location to enter your own coordinates, or select Location unavailable to test out how your page behaves when geolocation is in an error state.

Set orientation

To open the orientation UI click Customize and control DevTools... and then select More tools > Sensors.
