If you want to know how to enter source code:
Simply use Edit.com, RHIDE, Emacs, or any other text editor
(not Notepad 95/98; it tries to rename everything to .cpp.txt).

If you want to know how to write C++, ask comp.lang.c++
(crosspost added).

Oh, and if you want to play a cool game, check out what I've
