new one

hey im 13 years old
i create games with rpg maker xp,with eclipse,i create private servers online

and now i just started to learn c++ well lol...i just started yesterday
and i see that it is very hard

well i have some question if anyone can respond ty

1:
well wats really c++ is it like u can create programs then create an online game with it?

2:
is there someone that can teach (lol like a teacher by msn)
well if u want XD

3:
do company create online games with c++?

4:
it cost money to create a game?
u need programs that cost money or theres some free i dont work so i need some free well i know its hard to find..

well ty

Anything a computer can do can be done using C++. That said, making games in C++ is hard.

I suggest you keep working with RPG Maker. I have used it before, and it it a seriously professional-grade program.

Real hackers will put years into C while the k1dd13 phr34kz will drop out soon enough. Your choice.


1. You can technically use C++ to create just about any program you like. Of course, writing commercial quality games is hard. Writing a simple Tetr*s or Space Invaders game is challenge enough. Then there's the testing, debugging, API hell...

2. C++ programming is too deep to be taught in, say, a few days or even weeks in a classroom, let alone some flimsy chat line. I wouldn't do it. You should try this nifty thing found in abundance on the net called... what's it again... oh yeah... right... tutorials.

3. If I remember correctly, WoW is written, more or less, in C++. That's not saying much though; Blizzard has been using C++ for just about evey game it's released.

For Programmers: Programmers are expected to only have a good resume and cover letter, but if they wish to include a sample of their code that would be a definite plus. Make sure your code sample is written in C and C++.

4. Does it cost money to read a book? Yes and no, depending on your budget, the effort you're putting in, the results you're expecting, and so on. There are loads of free books out there: on the web, in your library etc... having a budget definitely expands your options, but it's not strictly necessary.


Even if you want in, don't expect to make your first nontrival game in, say, at least 3 months or so. Add at least another 3 months if you want the game to have a GUI. And add 10 years experience, 2 years work, a board of directors, half a million venture funding and a production team if you want high-end commercial quality killer apps.

so ur saying that i have to be rich to create a game?

i need my step..

i go to university first
then?? wat do i do to have that mcuh money??....

i think that first i need to work in a company and get osme money

then create my own company..lol now i understand well i think..

basiclly C++ is a very complex language.. im in school for it now and im being TAUGHt it and its still very hard to understand, just read tutorials mess around with some things and when you get in highschool if your still passionate take some classes.. thats the best thing

>well wats really c++ is it like u can create programs then create an online game with it?
You can do just about anything with C++.

>is there someone that can teach (lol like a teacher by msn)
Unlikely.

>do company create online games with c++?
Yes, C++ is the preferred language for the majority of most games' source base.

>it cost money to create a game?
It costs to make a game, either in money or in time. You can spend money to hire talented people to do the things you don't know how to do, or you can take the time to learn those things and do them all yourself. The former costs money and the latter costs time. The tools can be acquired for free if you use a search engine wisely.

>i think that first i need to work in a company and get osme money
>then create my own company..lol now i understand well i think..
You strike me as the kind of person who wants to make "w1ck3d c00l g4m3z", has no intention of becoming a serious programmer, starts with a hot head and cools to an icy chill after realizing that programming actually takes effort, then quits.

I would also add the necessity of our friend to learn English before learning how to program. The indifference and general callousness that characterizes most of our teens these days towards the written and spoken language (among many other things), is completely incompatible with both the preciseness of the syntax and semantics of the programming language and the zeal and dedication we need to give to it.

*blink* Ok... going back to whatever I was doing before.

im from canada i learn english by playing games lol look wat i just did
its my first time using c++ :X

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(){
	int answer;
	
cout <<"u were born in 1989 in tolwer city(press 1 and enter to continue)";cin>>answer;
cout <<"uve been in coma when u were 2 years old u dont really remember(press 1 and enter to continue)";cin>>answer;
cout <<"well today u just woke up(press 1 and enter to continue)";cin>>answer;
cout <<" u came next to window and saw that the village was attacked(press 1 and enter to continue)";cin>>answer;
cout <<"........(press 1 and enter to continue)";cin>>answer;
	cout<<"u needed to retreive ur memory so u started to count(press 1 and enter to continue)";cin>>answer;
	cout<<"3+3x2:";
	cin>>answer;

	while(answer!=12)
	{
		cout<<"u dint got it, try again(u falled and died):\n ";
		cout<<"What is 3+3x2:"; cin>>answer;
	}
	cout<<"nice u got the right answer(u just passed tolwer city and saved the people)\n";
	cout<<"Congratulations! Please press 1 and enter to continue)";cin>>answer;
		cout<<"what is 8+8+8: ";
	cin>>answer;

	while(answer!=24)
	{
		cout<<"u dint got it, try again:\n ";
		cout<<"What is 8+8+8:"; cin>>answer;
	}
	cout<<"nice u got the right answer\n";
	cout<<"Congratulations! Please press 1 and enter to continue)";cin>>answer;
	
	cout<<"i 1 2 3 4 hhmmmm 5 6 ..7)";cin>>answer;
	

  return 1;
}

hehe it took me about 1 hour im a newbi
i use dev c++ its more easy to use i think for beginner

can i do it with windows aplication or only with win32?
coz u know why :X well try it XD

It's you, not u. You didn't learn that on any game.

Regardless your code seems ok from just skimming at it. However, you are not testing the input. For instance, what happens if the user doesn't type 1 on the first question?

Also 3+3x2 = 9, not 12.

wut 3+3 x 2 = 12 lol

3+3=6
6x2=12
well lol
but my code is good for a newbi?

You should work on formating and English
Both make hard to undestand the code

> wut 3+3 x 2 = 12 lol

You are right of course. Math is not an exact science. Look at how two people can come up with a different result for that.

>wut 3+3 x 2 = 12 lol
Not in our world.

>3+3=6
>6x2=12
Precedence rules. Multiplication comes first, so it's 3x2=6, 3+6=9.

>but my code is good for a newbi?
It's fine for a start.

>im from canada i learn english by playing games lol look wat i just did
We cut a little slack for honest mistakes. We have no sympathy for laziness though. You know what those abbreviations mean, so you shouldn't have any trouble using the correct word in the first place. This isn't just because we find it annoying (which we do). Think of people who don't speak English well, and the phonetics of their language make things like "u" or "r" unintelligible.

look the code i just did now its just to learn
i said im new i started yesterday at about 8:00 pm.

at least cheer me up so i can continue..
now im learning,
when ill know more about c++.. ill create my first program.

and i just did a mistake about 3+3x2 -_- im 13 years old, 13 make mistake sometime

i just understood 3x2 =6 so u do 3+6 and =9 XD my head was turning sorry XD
