Let's Get Started.

• I would like to create an electronic Cootie game.
• Thinking things over, I think I would like to implement the body parts as an enumerated type.
  • Why an enumerated type?
  • What is an enumerated type?
  • What other options are there than an enumerated type?
  • What are the strengths of an enumerated type?
  • What are the weaknesses?
  • What is the syntax to declare an enumerated type?
  • A discussion of enumerated types starts on page 19 of the book.
• What will I want to be able to do with this enumerated type?
  • Declare variables, I am sure it will be part of a class
  • Print out values.
  • Probably convert between int/size_t and the body part.
• I need to be careful that I put body part things in this file, not game implementation rules.
• To do things right, I will want to put these in their own header/implementation file.
  • The newer c++ (c++20, c++23) has a new module system.
    • Your book discusses this.
    • But for now, you really need the legacy system.
  • What goes in a header file?
    • See page 7 for a discussion of guards.
  • What goes in an implementation file?
• How do I compile this code?
• What should I do to test this code?
• We should not go away from this section until you know everything that was discussed.
