    I have changed al my arrays to C++ type std::array and it works just fine; I will use the C++ version from now on.

    Thanks again for the help.

    Make sure to use its unique advantages too.
    std::array - Cppreference
    (I'm not sure.. but this^ seems to be incomplete; confirmation...anyone?)

    Be careful when trying to apply concepts from other languages to C++, or any new language for that matter. C++ provides for completely seperate pardigm then BASIC, and even though you know BASIC some of the techniques employed from your experience will lead you down the road to disaster in C++ and other advanced programming languages. If you understand 'How to program' you should apply those problem solving skills when learning C++, in a C++ matter; rather then a BASIC/C++ hybrid that you are currently using.

    For a good starting point I would suggest you look through the C++ Made Easy Tutorials available on this site. Just a quick glance through your code you are missing some fundamental concepts such as user defined types, that would greatly simplify this task.

    Warning: Some or all of my posted code may be non-standard and as such should not be used and in no case looked at.
