do you have to add the "solider.h" to the main? or do you just add it to the cpp file?

[antiRTFM]

as explained in the vids, you include it in its definition (cpp) file and in any other place you'd need to make use of its stuff, be it main.cpp or anywhere else

Do you cut your Video???

8:02 - 8:04

[antiRTFM]

yes :)

[funkyewan]

If you use multiple source/header files do you have to do something different when you distribute your program? Can you still just give them the .exe and it will work? I think that's what you're saying, not certain though. Another great vid :)

[antiRTFM]

you can pretty much distribute your exe as is. technically though youll need to install the MSVC++ Runtime on whatever Windows system you want to run it.

@programmer0115 I was getting extremely frustrated by this as well, and most people who posted saying nothing about any major errors, are obviously not following along and taking notes, as they should be :P

[Aldeni1551]

It seems like a really stupid idea to have .h files automatically link all .cpp files that include them. You should have to link the files manually. Can anyone tell me if this design is limited to Visual Studio or is it integrated into the C++ language itself?

WARNING TO EVERYONE FOLLOWING ALONG VIDEO BY VIDEO!!

This first time I separated my code into multiple files and as I was following along I got many errors trying to get everything to link it took me a while to figure out how to get it to all work together , once I got it working I moved on to the next video only to find the extra info I needed LOL ,  P.S. I WISH I HAD KNOWN ABOUT THESE VIDEOS, 5 BOOKS AND 20 TUTORIALS AGO! "AWESOME COLLECTION"

@burgert10

u do that with a big file w/ 10000+ lines, and you will mess up half ur variables near the end of the file. Then, debugging.... omg, hell.

[Demyst54]

why don't you include the practice files? Are they on your website? I would be able to figure out a whole lot more if I get hands on with the source code, because I know that I"m doing something wrong with organizing the files - I keep getting an error.

[moidage]

It's good to know about organising / separating the declarations and definitions! Awesome.

[jasonxe1]

you made me lol @ 0:45 . I was like noooooo then i heard the rest and was like phew.

[burgert10]

is this really that important can i just put my classes in one header file and be done with

[antiRTFM]

please join the forums where you can paste all your code and errors

[mjd550]

just what I was looking for thanksa lot :)
