Hello guys. I am writing a simple rpg in c++ and am trying to create a getMap function which returns a 2d array of chars. however I am haveing a bit of trouble in finding the best way of doing this. I figured the most efficient way would be to take in a poiner as a parameter and fill it up with the array elements but am clueless as to how to do this. Could anyone give us a hand?

Thanks,

For the definition:
RGP == role playing game
Char == Avatar or NPC
Do you mean this?
Are you using COM-Interfaces? Or virtual classes for your chars?

Take a look at this page[^] in MSDN for guidance. However, depending on your requirements you may find it better to use one of the STL classes, such as map[^].
