This should give you a better idea of what a ring buffer is.

All that's left to do is for you to implement it. :icon_wink:

Try drawing it out on paper first to help you visualize what you're trying to do. Believe me, it helps. For a more hands-on approach, you can try reading an article like this:
http://www.vias.org/cppcourse/chap20_05.html

It gives it in C++, but it does a decent job at explaining how the buffers work with the two pointers (well, in this case, I'd guess you'll be implementing them as indices).
