Reading in from a file to a private class member
Greetings! I am working on the Game of Life C++ project and I am struggling with bringing in data from my file to create a new board for the game.
Here is the function

bool GameOfLife::makeBoardFile()
{
std::ifstream myfile;
myfile.open ("GOL.txt");
if (!myfile) return true;
for (int i = 0; i < MAX_Board; ++i)
{
for (int j = 0; j < MAX_Board; ++j)
{
myfile >> gameBoard[i][j].setState(true);
}
}
myfile.close();
return false;
}

namespace GOL

};
}

the setState function just looks like this
1
2
3
|
void Cell::setState(bool newState){
state = newState;
}
