Why won't C++ convert between u8 and char like C does? I'm getting errors like crazy here and it's driving me nuts.

C++ does get a bit more anal retentive about some things that could be done in C. However, without source code showing your variable declarations, assignments, and the problem lines in question, its a little hard to even begin to know the source of your specific problem.

Simple, u8 is 'unsigned char', while 'char' is signed by default. C++ is much less tolerant when casting between types than C (and that's a good thing!). Use s8 instead of u8 if you want to get rid of the error.

Well, I know how to get rid of the error (and managed to after a lot of messing with it). It's just changing it all that was a pain in the butt, since all the code had already been written and I was just converting it to C++

Cant you just cast from signed -> unsigned??

[KaylaKaze]

The first time I tried casting it didn't work. Later, after getting frustrated enough, I tried again and it did. I seem to be having problems like that: code that worked fine yesterday is now all buggy and when I change a setting in my screen class, the gamepad port won't open (even though they're unconnected).
