In my current project i'm implementing polymorhism, which allows me to store a bunch of pointers (of the derived objects) into the same container, because the pointers being used are of the Base type. Yeah, I sware by polymorphism too, but what if you need to use a method from one of the specialise...

This isn't really a question - just want to see how other people do this. If you've got a base class object, with other classes derived from it, what's the best way to store and keep track of each class? I just have a few vectors and some accessor functions: vector<object*> objects; vector<character...

Player* Sonic = new Player(); Character* Mario = new Character(); Sonic->Attack(Mario); //cleanup, further down somewhere in your code when the objects aren't needed delete [] Sonic; delete [] Mario; There's an exploit here. Drop the []'s, delete [] is trying to delete an array while you did not al...

Yeah, it took me a while to "get" pointers. The memory management stuff is a big pain in the arse. A big reason is virtual functions: Lets say that you're coding an RPG. In the RPG you have a character class, and inside it the virtual function Attack: class Character { public: //usual stuf...

After trying out all the usual APIs and lbraries (SDL, Allegro, OpenGL) I've finally settled with Direct3D9. I bought a couple of books, and currently putting together a library of all the useful D3D functions I can find (and write myself ;)). I'm thinking about what game I will make to test the lib...

Could anyone point me to a development kit / toolchain for the gameboy advance?

I want to see what developing for consoles is like, so I thought GBA might be a good place to start. If I'm used to OpenGL and SDL, what's the most similar console to go for?

Thanks everyone

cout << "Hello World" << endl; I've just joined your forum, looks very good :) I've only been learning C++ for about 4 / 5 months, mainly programming text based RPGs and mods for games like Orbiter and FSX. I'm currently learning (or trying to learn <_<) SDL and OpenGL. Can anyone point m...
