THANKS and regards

PS: At what address is the FAQ located?

world.h:65: error: syntax error before `;' token

class CWorld
{
protected:
void OnPrepare(CTerrain *terrain);

public:
void Prepare() { OnPrepare(CTerrain *terrain); } // here i get the
//syntax error above

When you call a function, you provide the arguments. Don't repeat the
type of the arguments:

A function:

void foo( int a )
{
}

and a call to it looks like this

int main()
{
foo( 5 );
int b = 8;
foo( 8 );
}

but not

int main()
{
foo( int a ); // this is *not* a call to a function
// it looks a little bit like a function declaration if there
// had been a return type specified.
}
void Prepare() { OnPrepare(CTerrain *terrain); } // here i get the

I guess you wanted:
void Prepare() { OnPrepare(terrain); }

But that leaves you with the question: where do I get terrain from.

As for the FAQ:
The FAQ doesn't help you very much at your stage. What you need is a good beginners
book about C++. Most of your problems so far are of the very simple nature.
The FAQ assumes that you know at least a little bit about what you are doing.

(IF CTerrain is poperly (forward) declared)

/S.

OnPrepare is a function elsewhere. Prepare is a function that calls
OnPrepare, but when you call a routine you don't provide the arg types,
just the args.
