Although I am well above average with a pc, I am still new with c++, so it could be a mistake on my part. Then again, I did everything the book said and I cannot get the code from the CD to work. I really can't do anything from here since the rest of the book is based on this game engine. I feel like I wasted my money. I would love to know if anyone can get the code to work. If so then there is hope for the book. For now I'm stuck and not very happy.
