Hi

First and for most thank you to everyone who helps others out, we new people really appreciate it.

I can code in C++ to a good standard, but I have been trying to make an external class in GDK but I cant seem to do it. Can GDK even have eternal classes or does the entire code have to be in one massive class.

If there is no way then I suppose I have to get used to it but if there is can you explain in detail. I understand that perhaps there may be a lot involved so if it would be easier for you can you please direct me to a web site or something specifically for writing classes in GDK.

Thank

That would be Java or C# that you're talking about. C++ isn't fully Object-Oriented. So, you only make classes if you want to.

I'm not much on 3D stuff but I've created classes for Sprite, Image, Bitmap, Mouse and a couple more things. When I find time I'll work up keyboard and joystick. Essentially you have to encapsulate the GDK functions along with some data pertaining to the sprite/image/bitmap numbers. Some of the functions are a bit interdependent but that's due to the environment they're in.

I could probably zip up the source and make it available along with the caveat that it's not completely tested and I'm having trouble with the animated sprites that I haven't had time to track down.
