When your in the game and you hit someone it would display damage up at top of screen.

For example: 4530 Crit!

How would you get it to display the text?

What is the diffrence between Software Engineering And Programming?

Do you think the C++ Programmer Primer is a good book and will teach me alot of information?

Greetings!

I just have a question is the book C++ Programming Primer By D.S. Malik a book worth getting?

What stage is it: Beginner, Professional
What does it teach me up to: What the last...

i++ Would be increased before code is done
++i is increased before code is done

I just dont fer what the statments do? whats the diffrence?

/code for (int i = 0; i < numItems; ++i)
what does that do like? lol explain

Ur right, If you had a server and maybe the data base which holds the items you wouldnt want the server holding the item before you got it I guess I will always just use i++

cout << "\nYou trade your sword for a battle axe.";
inventory[0] = "battle axe";
cout << "\nYour items:\n";
for (int i = 0; i < numItems; ++i)
cout << inventory[i] << endl;
...

So where can I find all the new visual c++ information like where I can learn to use new the newer c++

Uhh well, I was just wondering if C++ and visual C++ are any diffrent

I got http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/1598220160/ref=sib_dp_pt/103-1250628-3307016#reader-link

So if you press .help in the c++ game it would say What do u need and when u do .kick it would tell you to type in a name when u type in .kick <name> it kicks the player and says player kicked

u know how in games for the admin commands you have like / or .(command)
would i have to do like if .wave do animation.wave?

Alright, lets get a rundown of what I think I should use for game Programming

1) Thinking in C++, Volume 1: Introduction to Standard C++ (2nd Edition)
