I appreciate all of the replies and directions. I am taking a self-study class from the Game Institute.... (I'm hiding under my desk, please don't throw anything!) The instructor has written the book and seems simple enough to understand. We have covered, let me rephrase, I have covered: Namespaces, Include Directives a brief description of the std library, local and global variables. Functions in the basic sense of the word. Arithmetic Operations Loops, (for, if, if else, while....etc.)
The chapter that I am working on is called references and pointers. I am pretty sure that I understand the concept of pointers and references, but when asked to create a dice rolling function once using references and a second time using pointers... I don't understand the need for this. This program can be written (I believe) very simply using a function, a random number and returning the appropriate array position for both die. I am probably not making any sense. But it sounds perfect to me in my brain! :) Any thoughts would be welcome. Please remember that I am new to this and don't understand a lot of code! Thanks again!
