Well, on a side note for randomness sake:

I have decided my final project for my game programming class, i will be doing a pacman/star wars type game.

Basically pacman but with star wars sprites and instead of "power pellets/energizers" you get use of your lightsaber for X amt of time. Various other things, possible blasters from the "ghosts" and if i can get it working it will be 2 player over the internet, one being the head ghost (blinky/ darth vader) and the other being pacman/jedi

When its complete (end of semester) if people want it, and paul says its ok (its in C++ lol) ill send the link



Sure, links are fine.  Sounds fun.  Multiplayer is a pain, though. Smiley

Programming in C++ is like repairing electrical circuits while the current is still live.  If you really know what you are doing then you mostly don't get bit.  Mistakes are still catastrophic.

I think it's one of the worst teaching languages.

But, but, C++ is fun and easy.

Ok yes pointers can cause very bad things, and the garbage collection isnt that great, and its a lot of lines of code, but its simple to look at and understand whats going on... Or that could just be me

No, it's the worst language I've ever used for that.

What does this line do?
a = b + c;

In C++ you don't know without a lot of searching.  "What is b?"  "What is c?" "Has + been overloaded?"  "Has = been overloaded?" "What is a?"
