New C Programmer

Hello. I would like to learn to program C, and would like to review some small but good C source codes for games vs. the computer. Also I would like a reference to see what the terms are doing. Have a good day.

>I would like to learn to program C
Good for you. I'm hope you enjoy it at much as I have. :)

>and would like to review some small but good C source codes for games vs. the computer.
Try our Games forum. I don't go there often, but I figure they have to churn out some good code every once and a while. ;)

>Also I would like a reference to see what the terms are doing.
I suggest getting "The C Programming Language" by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie. Not only is the tutorial superb, the reference never becomes useless.

games ? gosh, perhaps it would be better if can learn C++ to build a games.
:D

>gosh, perhaps it would be better if can learn C++ to build a games.
Why? IMHO, C and C++ are both well suited for games. And since the OP specifically wants to learn C, why are you suggesting he do otherwise?

> C and C++ are both well suited for games.
Agreed. Just as an example of using C for games: I don't think John Carmack would ever touch a C++ compiler, and id software turns out some of the best games on the market.

>I don't think John Carmack would ever touch a C++ compiler
That I doubt. Have you tried to find a compiler that works strictly with C? Most compilers these days are C/C++ compilers, they do both and you pick which you want by using different filename extensions.

lcc is a rather popular compiler that works strictly with C. But that is really side-stepping the point of my post-- which is that Carmack doesn't code in C++.

hey all,
perhaps i'm wrong. :D coz i did only heard that most of games were built by C++. yeah i heard it before about id co. use C to implement their games too.
