I'm newbie to C++. I'm trying to create a game using it. Basically, my game has multiple levels, each having a different number of monsters. I have a class represeting the monster. My question is, how do I initialize them all? Should I use a pointer, then dynamically alloc the number of monsters I need, then delete them and initialize them again for the next level?

Do you have any code? – aaronman Jul 23 at 2:48

A pointer is just extra work. If you go that route, use a std::vector or something. – chris Jul 23 at 2:48
