Thread: dynamically creating a 2d array

hello, i am trying to write a simple tile map editor for my 2d game.

i want the user to input the number of tiles in the x and y directions for a map.

i have a map class and a tile class

i want my map class to contain a member that is a 2d array of objects of the tile class.

i am having trouble dynamically assigning the size of this array..

i thought the map class could contain a pointer to a tile object

Code:

cTile*m_tile;

and then later on in the code do something like:

Code:

cout<<"x: ";
cin>>x;
cout<<"y: ";
cin>>y;

m_tile = new cTile()[x][y]

however this gives an error,

what is the proper way to i achive this?
