At the end of the day this site is for discussion learning and HELP, so if someone gets it why not give the guy a hand, Daemon your basically saying if a cop ask's you "What did he look like" Your gonna say "Well your a cop you went to school for it, shouldn't you know?" that's not what it's all about this is a community, you should PRIDE your self on helping someone else not throw them a pen and paper, my 2 cents, disregard it if you want.
Learning isn't the problem, I do enjoy helping people. What I don't enjoy is when people don't take the time to try and help themselves first. First off, whats not to understand? It's a class titled game and main. Do you understand what main is? Do you understand what a class is? If your a C++ programmer, then yes you do. If not, then don't call yourself one. OP, i know you know what a class is from your other posts. So what's not to get about it? To me it seems like you went through and put some comments by all the stuff that took 2 seconds to understand and then anything that took more than a minute you said F it I'll ask EZ. It bothers me because a programmer needs to be able to do more critical thinking than that, a programmer needs to be able to know the how to problem solve and not ask for help every time something doesn't come to them right away. I'm not trying to be rude or belittle the OP, it's just a pet peeve of mine that so many people know "text book learning" but don't know how to problem solve. What I would like to see is some more problem solving/critical thinking from our OP here, because I feel like I havent seen much of it from ANY of his posts in this board. I guess the reason I seem so harsh and uncaring here is because it's been building up and spilling over into this one post, and my apologies for that OP.
To clarify; I have no problem helping someone learn. But I really do wish our OP would do some more helping himself first, and when you do need our help ask more specific questions instead of what does this class do? If you know C++ you should have a general idea of what the class does even if one specific aspect of it throws you off.
Just my 0.02 take it as you will.
@p_2001
No caustic remarks or -1 from me, your absolutely right in that I did come off rude. I seriously wasn't trying to insult OP in my first post, and you hit the hammer on the nail as far how stuff is presented matters almost as much if not more so than what has been presented. As for insulting my ego, you can't. Not to be rude, but it's just not possible. I am very aware of my strengths and weaknesses, and I scorn people who delude themselves about their respective traits. To me that delusion of self is one of the leading causes of what's wrong with the world, in fact if you would take a moment and think back to most of the fights you have ever had (verbal or physical) or seen others have, or even world problems...odds are you'll see someone somewhere who is deluded about themself and so gets defensive which escalates the confrontation to idiotic proportions.
On the few occasions multiple people point out a weakness of mine that I didn't think was a weakness, I usually consult one or more people I trust for an honest opinion then take some time to reflect on what they say. I've got more to say on self delusion, but this is a C++ board. I'm finished here.
OP, good luck
