  • Use the standard [`std::string`](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/string/basic_string) instead? And make an array of *strings*, not an array of *pointers* to strings. – Some programmer dude Jun 19 '18 at 06:52
  • Deprecated means it should not be used. Code and API's do evolve, and some caracteristics do get deprecated in favor of new ways to do the things. Check https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2941900/is-it-wrong-to-use-deprecated-methods-or-classes-in-java – Cleptus Jun 19 '18 at 07:03

I would suggest that you start using standard types such as std::string, and not cocos2d::String. Also, for arrays, you can use std::vector.

std::vector allows you to add objects of a certain type including duplicates.

std::vector<std::string> stringVector;
stringVector.push_back("my string");

There are multiple ways to construct/initialise/use std::string and std::vector objects, but you can easily find information about this all over the internet or in the documentation links I've provided above.
