Okay so i have very good ideas on making a video game team on Gamespot using the Unions. But this is not about Unions. I was wondering if anyone has the time to help me learn and understand C++. It may seem silly to you but if you reply yes i will send you a good offer on PM. It really is a good offer and no this isnt the GodFather. I will explain how you can help me and how i can help you in returns.

Nobody here can. Read a book on it, or better yet, take a class. I have a friend that is a junior enrolled in the Computer Science program at UC Berkeley and he still hasnt mastered it. It's hard.

C++ is a programming language; you can't simply "learn" it and become proficient in it. This is the same as asking someone to teach you French in a few weeks--then you will believe you can use it effectively and fluently. C++ takes lots of mistakes, errors, and time to learn. I suggest you start slow and think about taking some courses if you are serious about learning the programming language.

Sorry, but C# is way much better and easier . Learn C# By sam abolrous. Or Visual C# by john Sharp.

And if you still want C++ i suggest C++ For Dummies by Stephen Randy Davis . :)

You're better off not focusing on games for now, focus on the language itself then buy a book that focuses on games. The reason for this is that most books who try to teach c++ with a focus on games get really convoluted and confusing.

Games? LOL If you kept thinking that way you will stop learning Soon. I say keep focusing on the language and keep going. And NO my book doesn't revolve around any games matters.

Try this: http://www.microsoft.com/express/vc/

It's a free download of the "Express Edition" of Microsoft Visual C++. You'll notice that you can also download a free "Game Creators GDK" to help with game development!

:D

It's also very easy to find websites that contain free C++ tutorials. Just try Googling something like "Learn C++ Online".

Here are three websites that offer free information:

http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/


http://www.softlookup.com/tutorial/c++/index.asp

You're not going to learn C++ in a few weeks and start making games.

I've been working as programmer for 5 years now, mainly using C++ and id be uncapable of making any game, any decent one anyways.

So my mom finally order me a book for C++. I wrote a list of the books i should learn in order.

1. Beginning C++ programming through game programming ( I know you said not to concentrate on games but the reviewers said it was too easy and for the absolute beginner.

2. C++ programming language : special edition ( then ill go a little more advanced and learn strictly on the language)

3. Game programming all in one, third edition ( more advanced and learning how to put together a game)

4. C++ primar plus (5th edition) Advanced math operations and advanced on the language)

5. Advanced C++ programming styles and idioms ( Wrapping upthe advanced part of the language)

6. Collision detection in interactive 3D enviorments

Two Questions

1. Any books you think i need or dont need? And will this wrap up the basics of the language ?

2. How does it all work? What exactly does the C++ program do, like all of it. How do you use a 3-d modeler and take characters and objects and put them in the code? Same for 3-d enviorments. Is Audio on a whole seperate program? How would you do animations and making cut scenes?

Not really two questions but ya catch my drift.
