I was wondering what is the recomendation in windows when using path names in C++... should I use '/' or '\\' as both appear to work affectively, but I would prefer to use the one that is safest... unless it really does not matter?

I think it doesn't make a difference at all, but I prefer the '\\' since it reminds me of the classic DOS style of writing paths

Now the plot thickens, the fps decreases, and the awesomeness goes through the roof.

You should use '\\', since it equals '\' when the C++ compiler finishes with it. I honestly didn't think you could use '/' in a path, since Windows uses '\' in its path names.
