    Quick Question regarding Contructor Variables

    If i have a constructor as follows:
    Code:
    CircGame::CircGame(int num_of_players, CPoint * screen_places, int steps)
    :	m_steps(steps)
    ,   m_is_ME_OK(false){
    }
    Can i use the variable screen_places inside another function of that class?

    for example

    Code:
    void CircGame::Proceed(void)
    {
    while(screen_places > 0).....
    }
    Thanks

    No, it's local to the constructor. However, you don't use it to initialize a member, or for anything else, so why is it a parameter?
    My best code is written with the delete key.

    well its a variable sent in from another class, I guess I'll have to create a global variable and have it equal the value of that local variable

    why don't you initialize a member variable (private with the variable you are passing by refrence then use that in the class methods, finally return the value needed. Or if calling individual classfunctions pass it by refrence to the individual functions.

    Why do you need a global variable?
