The New World Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 @Marsh:> who cares what crank says, its just for fun. I dont think you guys realise everything doesn't have to be some big contest. Im bored, im trying to learn c++. Its not even a version of Eclipse.I have a C++ Book from college I could type up, compile, and give to you =]400 pages with like 8pt font :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marsh Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 Thanks :P, i already have a c++ book though. I use it more for reference now. I find it very hard to learn from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The New World Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Well mine gives you hands on tasks to complete and tells you ways around things and how to simplify them. Along with example codes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marsh Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 Your going to type up 400 pages of your c++ book…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The New World Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 I'm mostly offering because I have time, help, and there might already be one online.And if I have to type it myself then fine. It'll probably be about 100 pages on the computer.And there's always this.[C++[/][/u]](http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godlord Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 @Rose:> I have a C++ Book from college I could type up, compile, and give to you =]> > 400 pages with like 8pt font :DMy book is about 900 pages and doesn't explain everything in the C++ programming language, although nearly everything, so I assume your book either misses a lot or the author summarised half of his stuff. Most books aren't good for C++. The best available should be the one by Bjarne Soustroup, because he's the inventor, unless you have his book.@Marsh:> Thanks :P, i already have a c++ book though. I use it more for reference now. I find it very hard to learn from them.A friend of mine has my book currently because he wanted to learn C++ and I don't need/use the book anyway.@[GrimTechâ„¢:> Skillzalot link=topic=49188.msg512152#msg512152 date=1249247368]> Oh ok. I was looking to SDL cause it is easy in my mind.SDL uses DirectX 6 or something internally next to GDI, GAPI, OpenGL and X11.@Marsh: if you are stuck with something, drop a PM and I'll help you like on IRC ;).Regards, Godlord.

A my college, in most classes we didn't learn from those lectury, books, we learned from the book I have, lots of hands-on stuff, and explanations. It contains a lot of exploration.

The New World Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Previous owner of my book drew pictures of the Pedo Bear on the last 18 pages. So it makes mine the best :3Its not a guide per say, but a motivation, it makes you do everything, not just read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_best_flash Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Very nice. Looks great so far.What GUI system are you using for the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godlord Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 @the_best_flash:> Very nice. Looks great so far.> > What GUI system are you using for the game?Should be self-drawn because you can't use WinAPI at the level of game programming, I can't/don't use it anyway because all the APIs I use force/allow me to draw my own GUI except when supporting native GUI.Regards, Godlord.

Marsh Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 Yup, as godlord said there will be no window controls or anything of the sort. My GUI is almost complete though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godlord Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 @Marsh:> Yup, as godlord said there will be no window controls or anything of the sort. My GUI is almost complete though.Which is awesome because a lot of APIs don't support premade GUI (OpenGL, DirectX, SDL, X11, any console API, etc.) XD.Regards, Godlord.

Asvarduil Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Heh, and here I was about to make a C++ client, because I want to be able to customize the UI, and I don't have VB6 (Actually, I have Dev-C++…you can rofl at me now.)Can't wait to see what this becomes!
