I have a fair amount of experience programming in C, but I've never really worked in C+ and I really want to mess around in IVAN and stuff... Do those of you who have experience in that sort of thing think that the coding is self explanatory enough to just start messing around and I'll figure it out? Or should I get a C+ book before I do any significant tweaking?

I'm about to download the source, so maybe I'll figure it out on my own, but any tips would be appreciated regardless...

You probably could learn a lot from IVAN's source, but sadly it isn't very well documented. I'd learn some basic ideas about classes. I personally think that the way they are used in ivan is pretty good and logical for the most part.

Now as for a book I really don't have very good pointers. The Stroustrup (the guy who "ivented c++") book isn't a very good tutorial on the subject. I personnally learned most of the stuff I know (which isn't all that much) from Holy and later from a few courses at my university. Sadly the (freely available) course materials are in Finnish so they wouldn't probably be very useful for you.

But anyway. See the source, but don't be scared Smile

No, he can't even say yo' mama jokes. All he can do is say "your mom" and then repeat something someone else said.
