Haven't posted in a while oops. Anyways, I'm moving my tactical strategy/rpg game into a tiled format if that makes sense. This gives more control of abilities and interaction with objects. Shouldn't take too long but I'm a glacial-pace programmer so we'll see.

What's your major?

I majored in Technical Communications. Recently graduated

Oh that's interesting, so like teaching computers and designing research papers and whatnot? Mine's Computer Science, undergrad

I suppose those subjects fall under the umbrella of tcomm. In my current position as a technical writer, I compose tech literature (like manuals) in XML format

Sounds fun!

It is!

I've learned some C++ but I still need my book to refer to when making a program. Any ideas on how to make it stick?

Not sure if you're asking me or AlgorithmZ, but I haven't used C before so I can't answer that.

Lol @Scientist Well C++ and C are technically the fundamental programming languages, so once you learn the symbols and what they do, you're basically all set. Then it's just memorizing all the default libraries... The <cstdio> (stdio.h) library is most important to know. But the only way to fully learn them is by doing them yourself, so practice would be the answer to your question. :)

Okay, thanks!
