a few questions.

I'm making a multiplayer card game and i'm using panels they would work right cause i can't really make meshes all that well.

and how do i put pictures on panels?

also how do i make networks/servers if there the same thing if not whatever is better.


I can code in c++ i just don't know what libary would hold the pictures or server data.

You already use a library or you are looking for one?

[joshrocks]

i mean like #include iostream what would i include for this and how would i accsese it and what are it's functions?

[joshrocks]

whoops #include <iostream> fix :p

Ok, you're looking for a library. C++ standard library doesn't have support for graphic interfaces, you'll have to use a library for that. There are a few options (google it), but my recommendation is Qt. Easy to use (after you learn the basics) and quite powerful.

Unfortunately, Qt is the kind of library that I do not recommend as it is a proprietary library and maybe will they tell one day : "Now you have to pay for qt and also a tax for each Qt application".

That's why you shouldn't use it. You can use wxWidgets instead, or any other library, even Win32 API would do the trick, or Gimp ToolKit (GTK).

TIP: Prefer open-source and free libraries (often GNU GPL licensed)
