smile, when he said "race car game" my mind went back to one I used to watch a
old room mate playing on his Nintendo, where the drivers, the cars, the
tracks all had different, and sometimes variable spec's and ratings, the
drivers went up depending on how they did in the races, the cars could be built
up, depending on your budget, which was based on how well known you were and
how well you did in the races you participated in, you could get sponsors, etc.
a really wild game, with a few cheat codes in it for those who wanted to run
one regular game, and win by normal means, and one master blaster game where
you had the best of the best so you could just run around and take the day (I
guess it was meant as a psychological booster when one had a lousy day),
and/or due to the fact that you could get bumped off the track, and/or bump
folks off, the master blaster mode also let you go out and destroy things
without hurting either your normal game or anything in the real world, sort of
like when I've had a bad day, I go tell my role playing game gamemaster to
"give me something to kill, its been one of those days!" lol
anyone interested in a well made and available system for RPG playing in the
real world, D and D has most of there core rule books available for free, you
can't use them in things your going to sell, licensed and copyrighted and all
that, but it does open up pencil, paper, and dice (or laptop in my case) role
playing gaming to the VI. and it could help you figure out how to build a game
using your own methods.

Hi Tyler,
In Monopoly, I can have a racecar or a shoe on a square. Shouldn't you be
able to just make a square and then point to the object that is supposed to be
on it or can you somehow just put an object on it? I thought OOP was supposed
to be able to represent the real world.
Thanks.
Jim

Hello jim,
It might, but if I have an array of objects, the objects would need to be
of mixed-type so I'm able to maybe manage more than one object.
E.g, a vehicle will be a different object from a player, etc.
Thanks,
Tyler Littlefield.

Hi Tyler,
Unless I am missing something, you could maybe make the squares on the
board objects so that they could be different from one-another. Would that work?
Thanks.
Jim

Hello list,
I've got a question.
I'm thinking of writing a game in c++.
I want to find a way to make the board and map.
I thought about using an array, but then that would require that all
objects are the same...
Any ideas?
Also, how are race tracks built?
I want to do a bit of racing in the game, just not sure how to lay
those out.
Thanks,
Tyler Littlefield.
