Ooh, TinyXML is nifty. Once you figure it out, you'll probably enjoy it.

Though... I honestly can't remember what the heck I was doing with it. I can't seem to recall doing any XML stuff in C++, like, ever. But I remember using it, for something with C++. Grah.

My life is just one big blur in my memory, it seems :P

TinyXML is AWSOME! I am currently using it in my games engine for EVERYTHING! Having all of the files externaly held in a XML file like that is such a good idea as you can test on the fly. Like if you needed to modify the name of an item in a shop or something just open the file, change the name and next time in the game (note not having to close the game to do this) when you open the shop menu, BAM, there it is. Its nice to not have to recompile every time you change stuff.

Nice idea ShoeStringGames, I'll see if we can use that in Harbinger. [grin]

Coincidentally, I'm not sure why I got confused. It's really easy to use. :S Maybe it was because I wanted to use it on STL mode, but it's got an unresolved external error when I do it that way...

Oh, we're definitely using a data-driven design. I usually don't hard-code anything unless I'm testing something or just screwing around.

I'v hardcoded all of my data except images into my games, so this'll definitely be a different approach for me.
