williams , your reply was childish,and although i wouldnt know how to help mike (the topic author) i think he has just as much right to ask for help as anyone else on this forum, i for 1 like to help newbies (in areas i know of) as do others.

Read the tutorials and code it on your own. While, your inability to help yourself does annoy me... it is not the reason I won't code your homework.
You need to learn how to learn on your own, and how to find out things on your own. If you don't, you won't know where to look later down the line. Anyway, once you've finished that game (text-based im assuming) you'll feel much prouder knowing you did it on your own.
Sorry for the other person's post, he was out of line. Although, you can't just wander in and expect people to explain C++ to you in a message board thread.
Learn on your own, and both you and I will be happier.

And im sorry that i was an 'ass' about asking how to do a few things as a beginner, but i figure the only real way to get good at programming is to practice, and to make a simple little combat game will help, i think anyhow.
If im wrong, it will probly bite me in the ass, but in the end, i hope i am better - thanks again guys.

I wonder why your name was "newbie" before? That seems like an odd bug...
I agree that the response was over the line, but next time, do try to be a little clearer about what you are asking. And have fun. :)

btw Mike M: It said your name was "newbie" before. When I first read this thread (before any responses) I thought to myself, "*Sigh*.... what a troll..." So I decided not to respond, or even try to understand what you were saying. The way the question was worded implied that you had very little understanding of what was going on, when in fact you are a relatively intelligent person... :)I wonder why your name was "newbie" before? That seems like an odd bug...
