Pointer members...Dynamic...
Author
I was working on a loose Terrain class, quick rough draft, when I ran into a problem.
I need away to dynamically allocate the pointer(and it's fine on the heap, not really gonna go over 256 at the moment size wise), but obviously what I've done isn't legal. Good way around this?
Thanks.

Thanks, never would've thought of that. (Probably because I'd never seen it).
So, it creates a...pointer to an array of what?
terrainMap*[width];
That confuses me.
Hmm, I'll have to research that.
Thanks again though.

terrainMap = new float*[width];
Creates a new array of width float*s. So if width is 4, you get an array of 4 float pointers. Then you initialise each pointer by setting it to point to an array of floats. So you have an array of pointers to floats. And each pointer points to an array fo floats.

Hmm. I missed a few of those lines when I first read through the code. I had rtouble implementing it last night. Finally got it to compile, and it crashed the second I opened it. Maybe I'll post the entire code later(on school PC's at the moment).
Thanks for the help though, and I'll probably conver to container classes a little later.
