Why does it have to care what it holds?

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.
Thanks,

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. :(
Thanks,

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.
