C++ doubts

[n3krO]

using classes and objects helps you re-use code.

i might agree with intr0x.... When doing big programs it may be usefull to sometimes re-use the code but, as i'm learning, i think it would be better to force me to code everything in every new program i do, that way i will learn faster... when i full understand what i'm doing is when i may use class (i sill did not understand how they work).

Well, i'm now reading this tutorial to learn to do windows and not Dos-Console programs: http://www.winprog.org/tutorial

That's just mean, bro!

wxDev-C++ is fine, though.

As for classes and objects, I'd say learn how to use functions first. But once you've grasped functions and have became comfortable with them, I'd say you should try to learn classes and objects soon after. Even if it's over the top to use classes and objects in smaller programs, it will still help teach you good programming habits.

My answer won't be based on c++ but since i believe you'll run the game only on windows you could just run a bach cmd 'cls' to clear the screen and 'mode x,y' to change console window size.

It took me until like a week left of the semester to understand the difference between a class and an object. OOP is not easy(or I just suck at it)
