    sdl in c++

    i wnat to learn to use sdl in c++ my freind gave me this site
    http://cone3d.gamedev.net/cgi-bin/in...s/gfxsdl/index

    but it tells u as if ur programming in c, i cannot find any sdl sites so i want to know if i should learn c and then learn sdl, and try to use sdl stil in c++ somehow or find a tutorial for sdl in c++. i have a feeling if i try to use c sdl programmign skills into a c++ game, it will not work. so does anyone have nay suggestions or good sites with tutorials for sdl in c++ (using my compiler)

    Just a few weeks ago you just started C++. Just a few days ago you were trying to learn OpenGL weren't you? I suggest learning the language first... stick to console, get to know as much as you can before moving onto an API.

    Generally speaking.. if you know C++, then you know C. I don't see what's so foriegn about those tutorials, they seem like easy enough. Please tell, why can't you do those tutorials if you know C? Perhaps the API is C-Style, in any case, if you know C++ and are using a C++ compiler, theres no reason why you can't code with it.

    i believe you can. try it, and tell us if it doesn't work. better yet, tell us in the game forum.

    Sorry to break it to u, printf works in both. Try it out yourself, and you will see that.

    Ha, C++ includes headers like ctime, cstdlib, cstdio, cctype, and so on. Knowing these headers requires *some* knowledge about "C".

    Lightbulb Did you ever try this ?

    See this... it proves that MOST (we can say, almost all) c commads work in c++ ..

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>          //for printf
    #include <iostream.h>    //for cout
    #include <stdlib.h>         //for getchar();
    
    main()
    {
        
         cout << "Hello C++" << endl;
        
         printf("Hello C\n");
    
         getchar();
    
    }
    So good luck programming.. use whatever commands
    that you're comfortable with, c or c++.. doesn't matter
    most of the time, especially with basic, moderate
    and some advanced programs.
