Thread: c++ noob making a game

Why do you have multiple save files? Why dont you just save all the data onto one save file? It would look like this:

Code:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <fstream.h>

int main()
{
 int hp=100, exp=2000, lvl=10;
 
 ofstream save("save.ini");
 save << hp << "\n" << exp << "\n" >> lvl;
 save.close();
 
 hp=0;exp=0;lvl=0;

 ifstream read("save.ini");
 read>>hp;
 read>>exp;
 read>>lvl;
 read.close();
 cout<<hp<<" "<<exp<<" "<<lvl<<endl;
 system("PAUSE");
 return 0;
}

Should look like this once compiled:

Code:

100 2000 10
Press any key to continue...

Hope I helped

You shouldn't use system("CLS") to clear the screen, go to the C++ board and look at Clearing Text if you want.

Also, instead of:

Code:

using namepsace std;

Use:

Code:

using std::cin;
using std::cout;
using std::endl;
...

Probably other using std's but that's all I've had to use in my simple programs...

Oh, yeah. Instead of:

Code:

#include <iostream.h> //Deprecated header.

Use:

Code:

#include <iostream> //Correct header.

Edit: Oh! Oops! Someone already said about the deprecated/correct headers!

It's all part of programming better, and to the standard...

If you did this just a little after learning C++ then what did you use to learn? Books? Online tutorials? If so, which one did you use? I can do a little C++ but don't understand it that much. It looks like you got it fine and I want to make stuff like that too. So what did you use, or what would you reccomend for me to learn C++ better?
