[The Mysterious]

Hello! Long time no see, nope, i haven't continued my game programming for a while, we're at studies back in basics to understand the C-language better, getting also PHP, Dreamweaver and such minor things to study.

But hey, i got a question, well, actually two of them;
1. Is there a site for ALL C++ libraries ever in exsistence (for game prog. ex.)?
2. Don't tell me that there's always more of them?

C++ libraries are made by all kinds of different people, and so no, there is no site where they are all indexed (except google )

And yes, there's always more of them. People are writing more libraries for different things all the time.

Well, is there a site for all game creation libraries (c++)?

If there is no site, but even more upcoming libraries, then my ideas a failure... like ultimate lib (i.e. allcpp.h file) which includes every single library for C++, so there would be no nightmarish library hell on C-language. Oh well...:sigh:

I don’t think it would be a good idea to just include every lib there is. The point of a lib is to provide what you need not to fill your app with all the “garbage” that is out there. Besides if you link dynamically to the libs, you would need to provide function pointers to everything as well. And with statically linking you would face some huge linking within your ide. In other words you would only make it worse. Also once the libs are linked, you will need all the libs so you can actually run your app. I don’t think people would like that kind of amount of libs to install on their systems. It’s much better to keep things small and simple.

Just some thoughts :)

I don't see ANYTHING simple about it right now, nor small.
But i guess, you're right. Good point, however. Thanks for enlighting me.B)

http://www.Koders.com is somewhat related to your question and just a whole lot of fun to play with. There are some very interesting comments in that code.
