Thank you @hasty aurora

So what exactly is the issue you're running into?

remote kelp
#

I am really just trying to understand how to implement the code I made so far into my base.cpp so I can display the videogame titles from that games.txt file in the repo

#

Basically, I want to append from the file that has the game title at the beggining of each line and put it on the home page

#

Its difficult to do I understand but my professor specifically asked for a linked list even though a vector would have been easier smh

#

Basically what I would do would be:

Create grid in WxWidget window
Read file line by line, putting games into a vector
For each game in the vector, add a WxWidget panel for the game to the grid
#

Of course it's school

#

So okay, you've gotta use linked list

#

Is loading into the linked list the problem?

#

I'm just trying to narrow down a specific problem that can be tackled

#

So basically To append game titles to the homepage of my WXwidgets application, I need to modify the VGLFrame class which is defined in base.cpp and instantiated in base.h

#

I am thinking to add a member variable of type linked_list to store the list of games.

Than In the constructor of VGLFrame create an instance of catalogManager and use it to populate the linked list with games.

//catalogManager cm;
//games = cm.getGames();

Create a wxBoxSizer for the game titles, and then create a wxStaticText widget for each game title, and add it to the sizer.

//wxBoxSizer* gameSizer = new //wxBoxSizer(wxVERTICAL);

//for (unsigned i = 0; i < games.listSize(); i++) {
// wxStaticText* gameTitle = new wxStaticText(this, //wxID_ANY, games[i].getName());
//gameSizer->Add(gameTitle, 0, wxALL | //wxALIGN_CENTER_HORIZONTAL, 5);
//}

//mainSizer->Add(gameSizer, 0, wxALL | //wxALIGN_CENTER_HORIZONTAL, 5);

Add the gameSizer to the mainSizer of the frame.

//mainSizer->Add(gameSizer, 0, wxALL | //wxALIGN_CENTER_HORIZONTAL, 5);

Call the Layout method of the frame to update the layout.

You would need to store the linked list if you have to query it later, yes
