Ok, so after finally getting around to experimenting with C++ again and trying to create a Gamebiz-type clone, I've already run into some problems. I'm making a class 'game', and declaring all the variable members in it, as is normal (or so I think).

class game
{
	public: 
		int genre = 0;
		int graphics = 0;
		int story = 0;
		int GUI = 0;
		int originality = 0;
		int requirements = 0;	
};

But when I compile it, the debugger gives me all sorts of junk about "error C2864: 'game::genre' : only static const integral data members can be initialized within a class." It gives that same error for all the ints I declared in that class. This code is in the header file, and I'm using Microsoft's Visual C++ Express, if that makes any difference. Any ideas?

as the error is pointing out.
you aren't allowed to add the

=0

to your variables (in the class definition)
If you don't understand why I suggest you read something more on classes.
Hint: you need to do that in your constructor

Ah, thank you! Now to deal with the countless other errors...
