Err… LIGHTNING!

That's one of my latest GBA style RPG/Platformer character concepts. I've finally cracked the GBA/SNES styel.

Anyways…

I've begun writing a series of tutorials intended to teach C, and eventually C++ and C# to Game Maker users (Or general beginners).

Of course, I've taught several people IRL, but I've never written down a tutorial like this…

So harsh criticism welcome.

Also, I'm uploading a timelapse video I made last night in about four hours of me making a little game from scratch.

Here we go:

Hmm, I can't find mingw32 4 anything, the webpage is very hard to navigate >_<

Do most people use code::blocks? I find it to be obnoxious…. Personally I use g++ in cmd and edit in Notepad++, though eventually I'm going to move to Visual Studio.

Code::blocks was recommended to me by a lot of people.

If I ever start learning C++ and XML, I'll probably just get Visual Studio Express and then reverse-engineer the game example you posted last time :)

That was a C# example, not C++. So that would be 'rewriting' it, not reverse engineering it. :P

Most people do. I also tend to use the command line tools and Notepad++ these days. Also: makefiles.

I'll upload it when I've polished it a bit. Still isn't much of a game (You kill an endless and increasing stream of Slimes).

Let me find a hard-link.

Well well, they made it even easier now. Download this:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/latest/download?source=files

It's an installer that allows you to download and install the correct compiler. In the compiler selection list, just check the C and C++ compilers. Ignore the other options for now.
