hmm. nod. you have a point. Any c++ gurus know how to store multiple objects? 
maybe... make an array of vectors?
I'll have the other cars, padestrians, etc.
Thanks,

  that depends on the type of game, in the "Indy style" games out there, there 
is only three things, your car, the "other cars" and the track, if you want to 
do more than one of those, then your going to have to get more complex anyway

    you could have it in an array, then move the car to those elements.
    But, my problem is this.
    If you have a car, or person, the object will be different, thus you can't 
define the array to just hold a car, or etc. it has to contain all of those.

      Hi,
      In the real world, I pick up my car and put it on the just visiting jail 
square. How do you represent that on the computer?

        I could use void*, but I would have to cast the pointers--there should 
be a cleaner way. :(

          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.

            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.

                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.
