My start at programming.

[killowatt]

Hi, I am VERY new to programming, and I have been learning C++ for the past couple days. I did learn a little java and LUA beforehand, but I never really got into it.
I've successfully created a menu and a very small placeholder for when I am able to move to OpenGL with SDL. I'm posting this so I can get tips and suggestions, and whatnot.
Here it is, and not everything works, and it has a few bugs. [url]http://www.mediafire.com/?nauy76v6i10a7c1[/url]

Looks pretty good for first few days, nice and basic. Try and focus on learning the language first before you focus on what you want to do with games. C++ is pretty big and needs to be studied quite often if you want a good knowledge on how to use it. Of course, if that's not how you learn then pardon me.

If you continue with it post updates in the WAYWO thread for all to see.

Thanks, I was hoping no one would yell at me for dumb mistakes, and sure, I will definitely be updating this. Thanks again!

Get used to making dumb mistakes. The best of us do :v: No problem.

When I selected the 'Start Game' option, it flashed something and quit. Being a determined son of a bitch, I spent 15 minutes trying to print-screen what it said. I behold you all:

My way is easier.

[darkrei9n]

Add system("pause") somewhere near the end of the code. It forces the Press Any Key to Continue message to show up.

[aerochug]

Or cin.get() or cin.ignore (I forget which one) if you want your app to be more cross-platform compatible.

[killowatt]

Er, the issues you all are getting are strange. Try renaming SDL to Game.exe, I probably got em mixed up. Sorry about that.

[editline]22nd July 2011[/editline]

Oh, and I do use system("pause")
Sorry for the inconvenience!

Heres the new file, apologies. One I uploaded was the broken one I thought I deleted.

well i tried to do something similar to what you made, but never acomplished it <.< but i really want to learn the programing language, but i feel that im to dumb, cant really understand so much of what im reading when im watching like step for step tuts, and such.. *poor me* :c anyways nice work, i guess^^

Here I translated it for everyone:

I really want to learn a programming language, but I feel that I'm too dumb and I can't really understand much of what I'm reading (when I'm watching step by step tutorials and such). Anyway, nice work I guess. :smile:

[Nekrietns]

Then go and learn that before you have a crack at programming.

I wish there is a book on OpenGL programming in my native language, The fact that its written in english and incredibly complicated makes it even harder then it already is.

Don't use system("pause"); use std::cin.get(); instead.

Read it anyway. Don't understand the sentence? Read it again. Still don't understand? Read it again. I improved my English a lot when I wanted to become a better programmer. It's simply a requirement almost as important as having an internet connection.

[Nekrietns]

And if you [B]still[/B] don't get it, ask a native speaker or someone else you know who's more adept at English.

[Protocol7]

I'd like to see a multilingual programming language.

In like Spanish.

cuando esCierto = cierto
{
escribe('¡Hola, Mundo!');
}

I can't decide if that's awesome or sacrilege.
