I know that C++ and OFP are very close, so somethin ought to work...
Nah, I think OFP is closer to BASIC than anything else (well, I only know TI calculator BASIC, but they are almost the same I think).
Any C++ gurus know any tricks?
Well, in Java you just make a method that creates a new object, then copies the data over from the original object, and then returns the new object (which is now an exact copy of the old one). Same in C++, I believe. In ofp it's easier, you just do a = +b
.
Anyway, not trying to get off topic or anything
