Hey all
Just a query on file IO. Im writing code that takes data from a text file that
updates the positions of my 3d models on a frame per frame basis(.bvh). I am
currently writing code that reads in new line each frame (each new line
contains new frame data) but i am currently opening the file each frame
retrieving the line i need and closing it again. As im learning from tutorials
that all show closing the file each time u have taken what you need within a
game loop. I know its a stupid question but i just want to know if there is any
danger in having a text file opened for the length of the animation.i.e i open
it when i load up my .bvh file and then just read from it each frame and close
it once i read the end of file. Im writing it in C++ and i dont need any code
just need to understand/know if there is any dangers in just leaving the file
open in code that i should be aware of in future coding.
Thanks
G
