thanks xception! good to see someone around here who really knows what their doing. (if your the same xception as on the game maker board)
I'm the same, if anybody knows other good C/C++ sites, please add them to the topic.
You can also go to www.bruceeckel.com and download a free copy of his book about C++. You should start with volume 1.
c programming.com looks like a pretty good site
http://www.planet-source-code.com/ is good but to get more than 5 sources you have to reguster 4 free.
