include files

[cassius]

I am brushing up on my c++ knowledge after not using it for some time.

I know that function headers are put in files with the "h" extensions but is it ok to put the actual function in the same file? Or is it considered bad form??

You want the prototype in your header and the actual insides in .source files (cpp).

Yeah, I had forgotten that. It works ok but I won;t do it in my current le3 project.

In my le2 game the code was getting a bit bulky so I decided to put all my functions in a seperate file. I called it func.h. I guess it should have been called finc.cpp

I think it's fine to put your getters and setters in your headers, but anything above that I'd put everything else in the .ccp IMO. I've ran into some linker errors when playing around with objects in the header and were real hard to track down.

At the time I had forgotten about prtotyping and forward references. All the variables were declaed inside main. but it worked.
