Explanation Of Variables

Ok , i used to get alot of people saying to me , what are variables what do they do? so i decided this explanation worked best.

the best way to think of memory on a computer is as a set of storage bins. when you write a computer program you reserve some storage bins, and you give each storage bin a name, you also say which type of thing can go into the storage bin, the c++ term for such a storage bin is a variable

Side Note : Variables can only hold one thing at a time

Just like normal storage bins you arent allowed to put two different types of things into it , for example in real life , you arent allowed to put plastic in a glass storage bin.

[Tut.] C++ : Making your first console window

Ok it seems alot of people are interested in taking up c++ to make dlls for ds2 , here is a small tut. to get you started with c++

to get Dev C++ compiler : http://www.bloodshed.net/download.html

Open Up whichever Compiler you will be using (i use ms visual c++).
Create a new console Application (win32 is the same as a console application)

If the following Code is not in your Starting code already then put it in

[=red]#include <stdlib.h>
#include <iostream.h>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main(int main(int argc, char *argv[]))

{
system("PAUSE");

GPG Newsletter

[[ GPG at E3 2006 ]]

Absolutely fantastic! That's the only way to describe this year's E3. There were three GPG games on display--Supreme Commander (PC), Dungeon Siege II: Broken World (PC) and Dungeon Siege: Throne of Agony (PSP)--and the response to all three games was overwhelmingly positive. Regardless of where the games were being shown (we had demos set up at various locations around the show), there were large crowds of enthusiastic onlookers.

The awards and press coverage from E3 are still rolling in, but here are some highlights:
