Hey I was thinking. I have to decide what uni course I wanna do, the good thing is that I live near some great universities which offer the courses I want… but I dunno, im bored and im addicted to 64D. damnit… Anyway, just getting my fix. Keeps me away from actually working on any of my several WIPs.
Well that went off on a tangent. Back on track-I dunno which uni course to choose:Web programmingWeb designGame designSecurity & Hack ethics (AKA Hacking)… Its odd caus im split between the lot of them, but i need to know c++ just to get into the courses for the latter 2. Say, I can't find any tutorials on c++… but there r plenty on php etc. Does any1 know where i can find some decent c++ tutorials??and anyway… is it actually pronounced: See Plus Plus. caus its odd when u say it…Well ehm, does any1 find it hard to make character sprites.. im alright at most of the other but iv decided to make a plaform game and the character sprites are hard to get right lol…
uuhhh now i need a c++ compiler, any suggestions?
You're going to try to learn c++ from somewhere on the net, in order to get into a class?
Don't they offer classes you can take as a prerequisite, where you can actually learn c++? [:|]Nah lol, but i learnt photoshop & php on the web fine, and i could learn flash on the web too (but adobe ruined it lol). why not c++. iv wanted to learn c++ for a while but i cant find any way to learn it or at least get a compiler >_<. if only there was just one type…
dunno about on the web but C++ for dummies is a great book.
C++ for Dummies is great, and Bloodshed Dev C++ is a decent freeware environment.
if you don't want to change your font color, the think I think you should do with your life is end it.
My eyes… they burn.Damn, I wanted to recommend DevC++ but bendodge beat me to it. Anyway, I found some tutorials once, I'm sure there's plently of them to choose from. Try googling c++ tutorial beginner and you're find something that will work for you for sure.
also, check out C++ Primer Plus (Fifth Edition) if you're a beginner. I still have my first edition copy that I never delved into, but when I just recently got back into it, I got the fifth edition, and it's fantastic. The dummies books have never been a great tool for learning something from the start.
As for a compiler, nothing beats Microsoft Visual Studio.<font color=black>One thing you could do with your life: learn that lime green does not match with white and grey.</font>
Nooo! Not VS! Not for a beginner atleast. Dev C++ is the best compiler to start with IMHO. VS just seems too complicated if you're a beginner.
