hey all, I am trying to make a text based RPG. Now I do not want to have all the code in one large cpp file because it would be to hard to maintain and it would be pron to lots of errors. So I was wondering how i can use multiple cpp files in one exe. So can anyone help me with this?? Thanx node_5

Basically you just add more than one *.cpp file to your project and prototype all of your functions in the header file so all of the *.cpp files can access the functions.

You also need to define all of your data structures and such in your header file.

You might also try adding the keyword ''extern'' to all your global variables.
