Ohhh my! I love this thread!
Unfortunately, I'm a bit busy right now, so I'll post something useful later.
P.S.: This would be much better if we used GitHub. :P

Of course, but that would be too easy :P

NEIN! USE GITORIOUS.ORG!!!

Geez, who wants version control anyway.…

On a more serious note, kidanger you surprise me. Most C++ programmers would prefer references over pointers, because they like to pretend they don't care where it's actually the same object or not. Maybe you're really a C programmer?

I'm not a "real" programmer. I've used Python for about 2 years, and I've just started to learn C++. I still have a lot to learn…
Did it be a good or a bad surprise ? I didn't know references exists, did I have to use it ?

EDIT: I used pointer because when I tested, the player didn't lose health, player was just copied :/

Meh, references are for whimps
Personally I always use pointers except for storage classes like QList and QString, it gives another level of flexibility.

It really depends on where you enter C++ from. C and assembly programmers will tend towards pointers because we're used to them (and oftern understand how the memory is sorted at least logically if not physically). Java programmers are used to everything being passed by reference already. Python.… What little Python I've done suggests something similar to Java, but I'll admit I'm not very experienced with it.
It was a surprising surprise.

Znurre, I'm not sure I agree with you. I dislike references because they're a bit too deferential, and it's not immediately obvious whether someone has used them wrong or not (unlike pointers, which lightly tap you across the face for forgetting a * or &, or actually punch you if you didn't do it on a pointer to a pointer).

you programmers are strange... i like it! keep goin keep goin!
(they made a game ten times as complex than RO)

I dont know guys... When I go to compile it, it has a bunch of errors. I belive I am missing files...I have: weapon.h, player.h, mob.h, mob.cpp, main.cpp. Is there a weapon.cpp? Im still new at this so dont flame me too hard

[Arafails]

Works for me.… How are you compiling?

Anyway. Hacky operator goodness!
