In visual Studio, slowly converting my project to C++ using the TGC's official youtube tutorial.

I've come across something they didn't quite cover. The tutorial shows how to create an array in C++ but some of my code uses array resizing. I feel like the array resizing is not an AppGameKit feature but a core C++ function, which is where just adding an agk:: prefix wouldn't really work.

I googled the help for C++ array resizing and came up with this:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb348051(v=vs.110).aspx?cs-save-lang=1&cs-lang=cpp#code-snippet-1



Only issue is that Visual Studio doesn't seem to recognize the "Array::" part like it does "agk::"

You need to learn dynamic arrays.

Yeah, I figured it wouldn't be as simple. I don't suppose the agk:: include it's own array handling conversions does it?

Yes, you can also use the STL (Standart Template Library)


For more information, see the same source that 'Stab in the Dark' mentioned.

Ah, damn. Well I've already used: Stab in the Dark's link to learn about dynamic arrays. Seems pretty straight forward. I'm experiencing other issues now. If you could take a look at my current thread, I'd appreciate it. I've finished converting every piece of Basic code to C++, not a single Compile Error or Warning from Visual Studio. The window pops momentarily and some exception error comes up. This is all too new to me to figure it out on my own:
