 +A c decleration can be read by following this rule and knowing about precedence.

 +Go left when you can and right when you must.

 +<code cpp>sf::Sprite* re_sprite_hair, re_sprite_body, re_sprite_eyes;</code>
 +
 +Does not declare 3 pointers - it is one pointer and 2 objects.
 +
 +<code cpp>
 +sf::Sprite* unfortunately does not apply to all the variables declared following it, just the first. It is equivalent to
 +
 +sf::Sprite* re_sprite_hair;
 +sf::Sprite re_sprite_body;
 +sf::Sprite re_sprite_eyes;
 +</code>
 +
 +You want to do:
 +
 +<code cpp>
 +sf::Sprite *re_sprite_hair, *re_sprite_body, *re_sprite_eyes;

 +
 +===== Smart Pointers =====
 +
 +The STL library provides three types of "smart pointers", %%std::unique_ptr%%, %%std::shared_ptr%% and %%std::weak_ptr%%.
