Initializing An array in a class.
Author
I''m trying to do something really simple. Just setting up a game board.
Here''s what I have so far.
You have to initialize variables within your constructor, not on the same line as you delcare them within your class.
yes but how can you initialize an array after its been declared? i dont know the answer to this question either, but id like to know. ive had the same problem in the past and posted it here, and the answer wasnt what i wanted 
something about pointers to pointers and such. i dunno, man. just make it a global like i did

you can''t initialize member variables in your class definition. C++ is different from java that way. the short is that you can''t do what you want to do. you have to do something like this:
pain in the butt, but there you go. if you want to be 1337 about it, write a txt file parser and read your gameboard in from a .txt file. that way you don''t have to recompile your game to change the game board.

class CGameData{public: CGameData();private: char GameBoard[5];};CGameData::CGameData(){ GameBoard[0] = '' ''; GameBoard[1] = ''|''; GameBoard[2] = '' ''; GameBoard[3] = ''|''; GameBoard[4] = '' '';}pain in the butt, but there you go. if you want to be 1337 about it, write a txt file parser and read your gameboard in from a .txt file. that way you don''t have to recompile your game to change the game board.

Wow that was fast!
I put it into the constructor and it works like a charm.
Thanks for the help.
