Confused with object arrays in C++

Question

So I first learned Java and now I\'m trying to switch over to C++. I\'m having a little difficulty getting arrays to work correctly.

Right now I am simply trying to crea

Answer 1

The reason is, type of your variable

players[0]

is Player (object). However, operator "new" (new Player) returns a pointer (Player*)

If you want to have only one object, correct way to do it will be:

Player* player = new Player(playerWidth, playerHeight, 20, 1);

And don't forget in C++ you need to clean the mess after yourself - somewhere in the end call

delete player;

for every object you've created. C++ does not have Garbage Collector - meaning all manually created (by "new") objects stay until you manually delete them.
