I''m a beginner and working on a snake game, it works fine. I''m using array''s for the body and heard that it could also be done with pointers. My question is can somebody send/show/give me the source of a snake game using pointers, for learning and comparsion?? ThankX, --------------------------- MasterBlaster(CodeFighters) ---------------------------

You want the whole game? T.S.

struct SnakePiece{int x;int y;};//5 piece snake...SnakePiece* Snake1 = new SnakePiece[5];delete[] Snake1;

You could quite easily store the snake body with pointers. In this case you want to take a look at using a linked list (a way of storing data that uses pointers to link together a list of data).

Your favorite search engine (just search for "linked list") will turn up a better explanation of it than I could hope to provide here.

How about Introduction to linked lists?

This seems not to end. I also gave it a try to d/l it using an a manager (GoZila and FlashGet) they get a html file.

This the link I tryed:

Weird, it seems to work for me, but Ive ran into this problem before. All I did was went back to the games page, clicked the link again, and then I clicked the other link. Im using explorer. I''ll try to figure out the problem, but if you really want to see how I made it, theres a link to the main source file. The ''core game'' is about 10 lines of code I believe.

Thanks a lot
