Messageok, is there a reference that anyone can suggest? that shows how to
transition from c++ to c#?
Thanks,

Hi Tyler,
You do have a compiler for C#. It is in the same place as the .NET Framework
SDK had it's VB.NET and C++.NET compilers. It is called CSC.exe.
C# is quite similar to C++ in many respects. So I doubt you would have any
problem picking it up, as you already said on this list that you are "good with
C++".

I don't know c#, and don't have anything to compile it with, this microsoft
c++ thing just crashes when I open it...

Generally higher level languages have them - I would suggest C# would be
ideal for this purpose

Ah, then what you need is not a 2D array - and yes, that array is way
too large.
What you have there is a set of objects. Some are mobile (players,
monsters). Some are not (trees, rocks). Some can change state (objects that can
be carried).
The way that I have always implemented this is to give each object a
location and then iterate through the objects to see which are near the object
that I am processing at the time. Collections (a bit like an array but more
flexible) would be good for this.

um... it is ware you can walk around and pick up things etc. but I
tried to compile that and it said the array was to large, is there another way
I could do this?

Hi Tyler,
Yes, you *could* do it that way. But that really has to be up to
you. Does your game design require an array that large? What exactly will the
array represent? How will the player interact with the play area and the
objects or avatars in it? We can't answer those kinds of questions. That is a
matter of design.

Ok, I have a question. I am making a game, and it has to be like
real life, no board. but how do I do this? do I create an array like 1000000 by
1000000, and use a for loop to establish things such as person and etc?
Thanks,
