    Thanks for the tips y'all! It's really appreciated!! If it's not too much trouble, that would be REALLY helpful! I'm assuming you'd send it by email, in which case my address is game_boy@verizon.net -------------------------------------- //Program to tick off my sister Programming is...

    where to start

    Well, I'm not familiar with VB, but I know C++ which is also object oriented. Anyway, what I'd do is make the budget an object. Then give it the properties item, price, data, etc. That's how I'd go about it in C++ anyway. But, I'm not the most experienced, so take what I say with a grain of...

    What's a good Windows Programming starter book?

    Hey, y'all. I'm posting because I just got my hands on three Borders gift cards!! :) But, back to the point, I know I want to get a book on Windows Programming in C++. Problem is, I'm not sure which book I want to get. So, do you guys have any suggestions? :\...

    Favorite Word

    Whoops! I guess I have been spelling it the wrong way. I suppose I should look up the spelling of a word before I start using it. I guess that means I'M the asinine one. As for pointing it out, as long as you're not a jerk about it, most people won't mind. I value people pointing out when I...

    Favorite Word

    My favorite word is undoubtedly asanine. I like it, because I said it in cooking class, and my teacher thought it was a bad word and almost give me detention. [smarty] My least favorite word? That would be . . . bling. You have no idea how much I hate that word. [curse]...

    "Windows Game Programming for Dummies" is it in C++ or C?

    I read Stephen Davis' 'C++ For Dummies' too. I'm running Windows XP, and all the programs worked fine for me =\ When you hit run, an MS-DOS window pops up, is all. Every one of the programs in the book ran fine for me, so I wouldn't be worried. -------------------------------------- //Program...

    Should i Learn

    Well, I read 'C++ For Dummies' and it got me off to a pretty good start. C++ is definitely a powerful language. The syntax is fairly simple, too. I'd definitley say so go for it! Oh, and I found a decent tutorial online, if you wanna check it out, it's at http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/...

    Question about protected variables

    About the caps, I just did that so it would be easier to see the actual class names from the type. As for two . . . I'm working on that. But I need members of enemy to be able to access members of player so that they can reassign their HP variable. Three . . . Just making an observation...

    Interesting Sentence

    SQLSister, that's the best! The whole Zen thing could probably be applied to just about everything computers, too[pc3] -------------------------------------- //Program to tick off my sister Programming is officialy a life skill I have no idea what MIS means

    Question about protected variables

    Actually, that's rather ironic, considering the two classes are called "player" and "enemy." You would think they'd be anything but friendly. Enemy -->[hammer]<-- Player -------------------------------------- //Program to tick off my sister Programming is officialy a life skill I have no idea...

    Syntax error, but I can't spot it

    Once again, I'm having serious OOP problems. I just compiled a program I've been working on, and got ten errors. I've managed to get it down to two syntax errors, but I can't seem to find them!! I'll post a snippet of the code my compiler is marking as bugged. If you need the WHOLE code, I can...

    Having issues with capability classes/polymorphism

    Yup, that was the problem. Player can't access Enemy's variables. Cool, now I know what's wrong! //Program to tick off my sister Programming is officialy a life skill I have no idea what MIS means

    Having issues with capability classes/polymorphism

    *goes to check* Nope, the file names are right, and they're all in the same folder. Could it be that class Player can't access class Enemy's protected variables?[pc3] I have no idea what MIS means

    Question about protected variables

    Hey y'all. I have a question about protected variables within a class. Let's say you have a base capability class called BASE, and two derived classes, DERIVED1 and DERIVED2. Each of these derived classes has three protected variables. My question is this: Can DERIVED1 access DERIVED2's...

    Having issues with capability classes/polymorphism

    Well, I'm looking at a list of C++ keywords, and I don't see it. >.< Good suggestion, though :) I have no idea what MIS means

    Having issues with capability classes/polymorphism

    Hey, y'all. As the thread title suggests, I'm having trouble with capability classes in the C++ language. Basically, I have a capability class and two derived classes from it. All of these are .hpp header files. The capability class has a virtual method which is overridden in both derived...
