Inheritance Game Class

javyesco (11)
So I need to make an inheritance between the USER class and the Player class; I have more classes to add but I believe that if i'm able of at least understanding this one first, i'll be able to do the others. I have an idea of what I have to do, but the problem is I don't exactly now of what i'm supposed to inherit from. So the Player class is supposed to inherit from the user class. Now as I stated before, i don't really know exactly what is supposed to be inherit. If you have the time to read all this and suggest something that could help it would be appreciated. Thanks.

Since a player has all the characteristics of a user, plus a few others, it makes sense to derive Player from User as you've done it.

When figuring out class structure, it's better to start by thinking of the characteristics of each class and then decided which (if any) should inherit from which. In other words, don't start with the inheritance structure and try to fit your data to match the model. Start with the data and then choose a model that fits it.

I think I get what you're, saying, let me see if I can do this. Thank You for the idea.
