How Should I Handle Items?

[davidthefat]

Should I make a class like this?

Code: Select all

class Items
{
int Cost;
char ItemName[15];
int SpriteID;
int ThumbID;
char iType[10];
void SetItem(int TempCost, char TempName[15], intTempSprite, int TempThumb, char TempType);
};

Something like that. Although your class name should probably be singular and your member names should probably start with a lowercase letter and be indented.

Your code is fine I would would just change your naming of variables and classes to make them like this

Code: Select all

class Item // take away 's' to not make it plural
    {
    int cost; // for all variables I have the first letter of the first word lowercase
    char itemName[15];
    int spriteID;
    int thumbID;
    char itemType[10]; // I changed it from iType to itemType as this is easier to read and use
    void SetItem(int tempCost, char tempName[15], int tempSprite, int tempThumb, char tempType);
    };

sorry for telling you how you should write your code but this is the normal, or at least widely used, so others can easily read and use your code.
