Default Simple C++ Tutorials, for ya.

Yeah so i found most of my old C++ applications i've made in the past and i just found the old text games i made before, now i've touched them up a little and tabbed them all for what i think will help people, before you download them take into consideration that if you run the exe's of the first 3 i think it will just be plain numbers, thats why the source codes there to help and show you what i did. These are very old but good for learning. Of course i don't need them no more im more advanced Hope they help.

Well you learn something new every day, I had no idea you could use () around text, just seams like two more un-needed characters to write for me, is there any advantage to doing that?

btw, for those who want to learn from this code, don't use 'system("PAUSE");' theres nothing particularly wrong with it but when you come to programming cross-platform programs that command wont work 90% of the time. 'cin.get();' is a much better alternative.

I do a little. Trying to get my head around wxWidgets. The annoying thing is I prefer to code on GNU/Linux because everything just works but it doesn't really have the best tools for movie making and the like so I have to switch between windows and GNU/Linux a lot

Yeah, I'm teaching myself C# at the moment hoping to make a XNA 360 game at some point. But lately I've put that on hold to work on an electronics project involving a rather powerful processor, what one I'm still researching. I'm hoping to use the cell, and if so, C++ is likely to be my language of choice.

Yeah i prefer C++, it's been like the one main thing i've stuck to. I'm currently in process of coding my own Pc Game Engine, and it's alot of fun. Hope the stuff helps!

Not at all! That is actually what it is meant for!

Good show!

Infact, any post you make with proposed changes I will edit the topic post to include them and credit you for it. I am hoping to make it into a wiki when it has enough stuff.

I hear a lot about C/C++ but no C#. No sense using C++ when C# is superior for web based applications.

Whatever.

Thats trolling, watch your step. If you want to start a debate about which language is better then which start a new post. There is no room for your old-time religion within these walls.
