What's up, RMers?

Well, I'm still learning C++ so I can delve into non-Ruby programming for the game engine and editor. Hey, I can't force ntzrmtthihu777 and Kain_Nobel to do all the C++ work. I gotta do some myself. Still, my mind does it in the form of translating ONE language to another. I did it when I went from classic BASIC programming and variants into Ruby/RGSS. Now I'm reading up on C++ and seeing it as the Ruby equivalents.

For example, we have in RUBY, the case...end block. In C++, they call it a switch. But unlike RUBY, you have to add a 'break' command at the end of every decision made, otherwise you'd go to the next action:

Code:

case my_number
when 1
  # Do something
when 2
  # Do something else
else
  # Do nuthin'
end

vs

Code:

switch(my_number)
{
    case 1:
        // Do something
        break;
    case 2:
        // Do something else
        break;
    default:
        // Do nuthin'
        break;
}

Oh, and you have those funky braces {} surrounding blocks of code and semi-colons ending the statements.
