"I have managed to code an element into the code, without looking at the wiki (except setting up the project) and failed.
The code is flawless, yet C++ keeps saying that part of my code 'expects a }' when it is in the middle of my coding!"

Cool, but we can't guess what error messages you are getting nor what code you are using.

Then read what I wrote and stop whining. We can't help you without the source and the complete error message.

I don't know how it is, it is not I who has problems with compile errors.
