C++ Knowledge

I'm trying to learn C++ right now too. I've written a few C console programs years ago, and been doing lots of PHP lately. C++ seems... hard.

Are you doing something with a windows GUI or just a console application?

Aw, I learned a bit of C, not C++ D:

Its going to be a console application. Think something similar to Zork, if you've ever played that

You can count on me.

Except with graphics stuff.

Good to hear Vasu

As I said there's no graphics involved, I just need someone I can ask questions if I get stuck with a bit of code.

Oh, you could've mentioned zork was an interactive fiction. Yeah sure, I can help. C++ is not too much harder than C. If you grasp the basic differences between the languages, then they might as well be the same, however crazy that may sound.

Good luck, everyone. 8)

Bleh, my original plan was to have locations linked to a series of X, Y and Z co-ordinates and then through commands issued by the user the player could move through a grid format with if clauses. However this means there are no boundaries, so I've had to scrap it all and now I'm researching into Arrays and sub strings to get it to work.
