Weird dreams when I'm learning C++
|
I just decided about a month ago to start learning C++ again. Strange as it may sound, and I don't know what it is, just wrapping your head around a new paradigm I guess (the paradigm of programming), but dang, I've been having the most bizarre, str... |

Copyright issues in games

I'm in the process of brainstorming a really good game idea. It will be an overhead shooter. What are the legalities around having something like Dr Pepper in the game, so that when the player "Drinks a Dr Pepper" his health and stamina go up 10 po... |

From what I read it sounds like some really tricky business. Is their any holy grail solution to networking a game for online play that works great?

Does this ever happen to you?

Writing a program from the ground up and getting hung up (sometimes for days) on just a few lines of code, wondering how you're going to make something do what you want it to do. Stalled by some mathematical concept that you just can't wrap you... |

I'm really new and I need some advice
|
Still very fresh to programming, I have only read 1-2 books on c++, and the biggest program I ever made was a 5000 line text-based game.
I want to learn how to make a game with ms-paint-like graphics, overhead view, duel OS compatibili... |

Wow... how do people make graphics libraries?

I have been wondering this same question for some time. In fact, I've spent some time going through iostream trying to see the nuts and bolts of how it works, but I can't seem to figure out what part of it calls the console, uses ASCII, and actually... |

I would willingly advertise Dr Pepper for free (-:. Although it did give me an idea, I didn't want to support my game with ads but maybe I could do product placement in game like in-game billboards or "Mountain Dew" engraved in the sand. |

what c++ book?

Great books that are free online (I've read both) are: "Thinking in C++" and the tutorial found here: http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/
The latter is excellent when you're just learning the language, everything is explained very clearly an... |

Beginner game code

The code is fairly clean and easy to read/understand. That's a plus. The only problem I could see was redundancy with the struct, but that was the only thing. Think of each object of struct "game" to contain all the members inside of "gam... |

Hello! I'm beginner but....
|
Actually, a lot of great games were programmed and drawn by one man, such as Soldat. I plan on making my game by myself, and if I implement it well enough maybe someone else will help me, but I won't count on it.

Quote:Original post by Sappharos
Here's a link to a well-structured (imho) C++ tutorial I find quite helpful. Yes, if you want to be a game programmer you have to learn the basics. I'm still learning them!
