Quick question about commenting code.

So I know about:
( single line comments )
//
and
( multi line comments )
/*

*/

...but what the heck is /// used for.
Can't find a reference to it in my c++ book and I tried google foo but just managed to hit myself in the face. What do you folks use it for?

Hope you all enjoy the weekend,
Logan

Re: Beginner CPP Homework 13

In order to avoid circular dependency I will often have the function return a bool. In game.cpp call the proccessConsumption how you like. if( poo01.ProcessConsumption( dude ) ) { meter.increaseLevel(); } bool Poo::ProcessConsumption( const Dude& dude ) { const int duderight = dude.GetX() + dude.Get...

Re: General issues

I've seen the color white used in various ways throughout chili's series. The one that comes to mind is: #define COLOR_WHITE D3DCOLOR_XRGB( 255, 255, 255 ) So you can just use it like: gfx.DrawLine( x1, y1, x2, y2, COLOR_WHITE ); Not sure if this is the issue you're having but normally if calling a ...

Re: C++ Winsock Networking Tutorials [04-24-2017]

I finally had some time to devote to these. I'm only on tut 4 but so far loving them. I like that there is a bit of a back catalog since I saw them awhile ago. Hoping there might be more in the future still. Keep at it and thanks for making them.

Re: [SOLVED] child class having the same function name as pa

I thought they may have a reason to initialize the data of an object at a different time than at the creation of said object. Possibly in a vector of objects or some...

I've been working on my own 3d engine in modern opengl and I keep coming back to a c++ issue and I hope the great minds here can help. So I have a class Sun, this has code that keeps track of the ...
