| Hint OUTSIDE a function, a variable can only be defined with simple values: int a = 5; U can't use any complex operation. int a = 5+5; will fail, game will not start. In a function, never define new variable, after some operation. void test(){ int a = 15; a+=15; int b; } in that case int b will fail. Language Features if if (RandomInt(1, 3) == 1) // Brace required { Print("Good"); } else if (Random(1, 5) < 4) // else if { Print("Average"); } else { Print("Bad"); } while int i = 0; // You can... |

| Syntax error You are using a function that is forward defined: void func () { forwardDefinition(); } void forwardDefinition() { } Solution 1: Put the function before void forwardDefinition() { } void func () { forwardDefinition(); } Solution 2: Put the function prototype before void forwardDefinition(); // Prototype void func () { forwardDefinition(); } void forwardDefinition() { } Variable declarations must be made at the top of the function. void func() { int a; a = 1; int b; // Must be... |

| Arrays are a way to store and use multiple values of the same type. int[10] list; int i = 0; while (i < 10) { list[i] = i * i; i += 1; } print(list[5]); // 25 print(list[10]); // error, index overflow The list then has 10 values in it, indexed from 0 to 9, filled with the values { 0, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81 }. Arrays must have their length pre-declared. As far as Galaxy is concerned, int[10] is a completely different type from int[12]. Arrays can be of any type. struct MyType { int... |

| structs are data structures which hold other relevant pieces of information. Defining a struct Let's say I want to have a monkey and track the number of bananas it has and also how much poo the monkey has flung thus far. struct Monkey { int numBananas; int pooFlung; }; // ending semicolon is important There I defined a struct named Monkey that has a two fields: int numBananas and int pooFlung. To make a new Monkey, all that needs to be done is to declare Monkey myMonkey; Creating a struct... |
