Question

I have a strange bug that appears to happen only when the program isn’t executed from the terminal. Here is my project:
https://github.com/elliotpotts/Troll/
https://github.com/elliotpotts/Troll/issues/2

Look at the Troll::State::keyPressed() function. For some reason when I run the program from the terminal, everything is fine and the application exist but when I run it as a GUI program, the appliction doesn’t exit. I can’t think why. Thanks in advance, ell.

EDIT: Apologies for not adding Ogre tag and not posting the keyPressed function, here it is:

void Troll::State::keyPressed(const OIS::KeyEvent& event){
    if(event.key == OIS::KC_Q) {
        mCreator->stop();
    };
};

I have also tried adding file output to test it:

void Troll::State::keyPressed(const OIS::KeyEvent& event){
    std::cout << "Q was pressed" << std::endl;
    std::fstream file("log");
    file << "Q was pressed";
    file.close();
    if(event.key == OIS::KC_Q) {
        mCreator->stop();
    };
};

When run from the terminal, this works, otherwise, it does not. An added note, I do not have a functioning debugger at the moment which I am also trying to fix. Ell.

It turns out it was the IDE causing the problem, thanks for your help anyways, ell 🙂
