I'm new at C++ and I want to make a cool text-based rpg. My complier is Dev-C++. Can someone help me out get started? Maybe if you have one of your own I could examine the source code. It would be really cool if someone with some experiance could help me with this. Please help as much as you can, but don't sweat it. Thanks. :banana: (I'm so excited lol)

What type of help are you looking for exactly? If you're looking for source-code to use as an example, you could try searching at www.planetsourcecode.com .

this is my half arse attempt at stratego. it is not an rpg but it would help. i need to comment more. do not the modular programing useing functions.

Yeah, this definitly helps alot. I'm a newb so I am just looking for source code examples. Mjordan2nd, I'll definitly check out that site. mrynit, your Strategeo game looks pretty good, and when it's done, my I suggest submiting it to gamehippo.com. It's a website that allows you to download freeware games. It would probably have a nice turnout, as they review every game, and there's only one other Stratego game on it that was made with Java and normally doesn't work. Just an idea. Thanks. :banana:
