Your array objects are of the GameSquare class. No need to call ''new'' to allocate memory.

If your array were of pointers, like this:

GameSquare* BoardGrid[WIDTH][HEIGHT];

then you would need to use ''new''.

Blue programmer needs food badly. Blue programmer is about to die!

Another way to create it would be
GameSquare BoardGrid[][] = new GameSquare[BOARD_WIDTH][BOARD_HEIGHT];
if you wanted to do dynamic allocation.

new isn''t a way to declare a variable, it is a way to reserve memory for that variable.

when you do something like:
int i;
you declared(defined, actually reserved memory for it) the variable i;
int *pi;
you declared a variable whose type is a pointer to int;
however, is isn''t pointing to a valid int. You can then either make it point to an valid int like this:
pi = &i
or create a new int and make pi point to it, like this:
pi = new int;
anyway, allways remeber to use delete on any variable you allocated with new
delete pi;
(or delete [] parrayi; , if you allocated it like parrayi = new int[5]; )
When you declare a variable like
GameSquare BoardGrid[BOARD_WIDTH][BOARD_HEIGHT];
you are declaring a two imensional array of Board_width X board_height GameSquare''s;

When you declare a variable like
GameSquare *BoardGrid[BOARD_WIDTH][BOARD_HEIGHT];
then you are declaring a two imensional array of Board_width X board_height pointers to GameSquare, but not actually creating the GameSquare''s. Those pointers are just sitting there pointing somewere, but just follow them and you program is likely to end in a blue fireball (well more like a dialog box, actually).
so then, as (very well pointed by mossmoss) you have to create each of the gamesquare''s with new.

Sorry if this wasn''t to the point, or/and if you allready knew all this. Better safe that crashed
