Does anyone have a good c++ tutorial to help me get started. I understand basic syntax, structs, unions, and some stuff about classes.

I'm assuming that you started with Java?
Empty your mind of that completely, and look at cplusplus.com, go through the entire list, and start making random stuff like I did.

nope. try java once... didn't like it... I guess i need some sorta project that i can use this for...

Perfect. You can read over the pointers section of my ENIGMA manual and tell me how to improve. Your questions will fuel its revisions process.
I'll include it with the release.

I always find it weird that people never grasp the concept of pointers first time... simple enough in theory, right?

Wrong thread, sorry. Is this an SMF bug, where you hit reply on one and it posts on the last thread you opened instead of that one?

It's not that they're difficult to understand. It's that cplusplus.com has a terrible way of explaining them.

"It's that cplusplus.com has a terrible way of explaining them."
This is what I was thinking. Hopefully using them in ENIGMA breaks down the disoriented feeling you get when working with C++ for the first time. This way, you don't have to cope with the loss of knowledge of all the language's functions.

Also, how I learned pointers was just making a program with pointers to show how each of the pointer operators worked. Then, I understood it a lot better.

i understand pointers fairly well.
