how to use global enum w/ multiple files?
Author
I have been using enums in my game, but I cant figure out how to make them accessible with multiple files.
If I define the enum in main.cpp file, and then put it in the main.h file which all the other source files access, it says its being redefined.
when I have say a global int, I declare it in the main.cpp and in the main.h like
in main.cpp
int variable = 10;
amd then in main.h
extern in variable;
but how do i do the basic same thing with an enum?
thanks for any help
Possibility
just include the enum in a header file and then #include the header
note that the headers you write yourself should be #included with quotes
ie
#include "myheader.h"
and not brackets

oh yeah...
you need to use include guards to prevent it from being redefined
so say this is a sample header.. called myheader.h
you''d do something like this
#ifndef _MYHEADER_H
#define _MYHEADER_H
// the stuff for the include file
#endif
you want to do this with EVERY header file you write
