OK i got another question, when i try to replace a line of code like

Code: Select all

cout << "hi" << endl;

it ends up replacing the next letter or character after the cursor and I don't know how to fix this problem

Try pressing insert. That works in most IDE's to fix the problem.

Please... you have all the time in the world to write your forum posts. Please use linebreaks and capitalization, or I am not going to read it. Seriously. I read the first sentence of all of your posts and was like "eh, wall of text, skip."

From the post that says "Programming Discussion: Read Before Posting", right up at the top.

3) Think. I know this one is hard. But reread your post. If it doesn't make sense, retype it, reword it, or do whatever you did to (hopefully) pass 3rd grade english. We aren't going to spend excessive amounts of time debugging your english along with your code.

In other news,
To overwrite a line of text, try using shift+arrow keys, and then type.
If you want to advance your selection by whole words, try ctrl+shift+arrow key.
If you want to delete the whole line, click anywhere on the line, hit home, then shift+end.

hmm well i dont have the books right now i only have part of c++ for dummies 5th adition on me and its teaching me like vocabulary not how
ex) if i got a sprite name levi and a map made with musugo how do i interprit those into the coding of the game like i understand that each tile is = to a number but i dont know where to start the coding process of making a background and adding a charecter that can move around. i was working with flash cs4 and so all i did was draw my charecter on there and add the codes to him and then click copy and paste it to my level but i do not under stand how to do that with c++ and many other text based games so im a little lost if you get what im trying to say.

I just got C++ for Dummies 5 edition from the library not long ago.

Yea I did one bad paragraph I am sorry i already explained i was in a rush before but that will not happen again.

And nice I just got the c++ all in one desk reference which is very helpful to me compared to c++ 5th addition. I got c++ 5th addition from a friend of my brother I like it but I would much prefer the All In One Desk Reference. just my opinion go on amazon and get it for $5.00 including s&h used like I did, but mine was in excellent condition.

I know, I just said that since somebody mentioned it.

The book I learnt from is C++ in easy steps. It's a good book and explains everything clearly.
I don't think you an get it in the US though
I got it for £1 on eBay but I think C++ for dummies is better.
