Anybody know C++?
 

If so, make yourself known to me.
I want to be friends with you.

Basicly I thought about making a thread if someone got tutorials for it :P
Can you tell me some? Maybe we can be double friends :P

I've used a lot of tutorials, but the ones I've used the most are:

http://www.cprogramming.com/
http://www.cplusplus.com/

Some tutorials from the internet where you say "they should be good for the beginning" would also do it ;) Until you feel like making your own and telling some stuff

Sorry, didn't read what you were saying right. x_x
Added my favourite tutorial website above.

Thanks I´ll take a look at it ;)

Out of interest, have you ever made anything with C++?

No :(

**** c++.

java ftw :)

I found Java to be a horrible language. The way each function had to be defined with stuff like "public static void" as well as a lot of other more-complicated-than-it-had-to-be commands and functions.... Ugh... Just couldn't bring myself to like it.
Plus, it's nowhere near as powerful as C++.
C++ ftw!

I only know c-- :(

Java was never intended to be as strong as a low-level language like c++. It was meant to be accessible and provide easy-access to cross-platform support.

To give Java its dues, yes, it is good in this respect. The only problem with it is that platform-specific features can be used only with great difficulty.

Trying to learn it but keep dropping it or putting it off.

Why?
Not interested enough?

www.cplusplus.com is quite good.

Java is good for it's strengths which is easy portability (though unfortunately it isn't truly cross platform) but the virtual machine has resource costs involved. C++ is good when you want to make something efficient and powerful.

I know I'll have to get back into Java (or whatever term you'd give Java in a Dalvik VM <3 Android) but I've been putting it off.

On a side note, C# is quite good in the end. Got into that for XNA.

The syntax is not really that different to C++!
The word "powerful" is not a very precise one; you can probably do a lot in Java that you can do in C++. Java has also been known to outperform C++ at some tasks. :)
These days a lot of ARM chips even come with native Java bytecode processing support, which can make it quite interesting, especially in the embedded field. Unfortunately the software virtual machines are usually very badly implemented. For instance, it can take a long time sometimes just to get a Java process to even start on Windows and OS X.
Yeah, I like C#. Shares a lot in common with Java, but I find it much cleaner and easier to read and write, and isn't as restricted at runtime by the dimensions of the virtual machine as Java is.

I make games in Java rofl

Got any to show?

I've dabbled but I don't care to learn it when I can fall back on a language like Ruby or Python and take a more direct approach to a problem that I'm trying to solve.

I just prefer to spend my time fighting the problem than the tool I'm using to solve the problem.

Personally it won't benefit myself by learning it and I probably won't find all that much enjoyment in it either. If you have the time and patience to learn it, all the power to you though.

Yes, agree. I can write C, but generally I don't like to because it takes several times longer to achieve even simple tasks. Mostly I only continue writing C just so that I remember how to. :(

I'd write you, skyld.

Taking CNS in college at the moment, so we'll be able to be friends soon!

I'm currently learning the VERY basics of C++, and I hope to soon pursue Java upon becoming a "basic programmer" in C++.

=D

That means you should friend me. I have read a whole entire 400 paged book on it, downloaded the client and made somethings. Been usin' it for a couple years now. Also, I am starting some Java and XCode.

Just started c++ with some program called code::blocks

What does that program do? Make Games?

So far, I've only opened a blank project and typed in simple code and compiled it. There's tons of other options that I am unable to understand, however... it's professional, big stuff, not your silly little game "creator".

Ah, ok. I don't make games either. I am starting to make a program in C++ that will Help you find your future job, with over 500 questions that finds the answer.

Ugh, I gotta learn it. As of right now, the only thing I know how to script is a Trainer battle in Pokemon using the notepad. Well, f**k.

lol I am doing my self in, I am trying learning c++ with code::blocks and I am also trying to learn Gs2 as well but I am learning these at a very slow rate XD

Code::Blocks is an IDE. (Integrated Development Environment)

Haha, I tried to make a project using DirectX, and so far I only managed to make a window with a coloured background. When I try anything else, I just get errors spat at me, so I'm going to leave it at that for a bit. :P

DirectX is a pain to get started...the sheer number of variables needed is immense.

Try OpenGL first, get a simple square/cube spinning. It's a lot easier.

I only know A's son.

So like how do you make GUIs and stuff with C++? I have this big guide but it just tells math, logic, etc. and only shows functions in command prompt. I want to make programs that aren't just limited to Command Prompt! Any guides on this?

You should try Win32 programming.
Google it. There's an extensive list of guides.

Any superior guides you'd recommend?

openGL sucks.

I am having problems with OpenGL, so I half-agree with you there.

I can't really remember the guides that I used. :[

Bah to you! If John Carmack can win with OpenGL, you're doing it wrong.

For GUIs, try something like wxWidgets or GTK to give you a head start

I don't really understand these programs :/

Sorry I'm a complete noob at all of this.

I've wanted to learn a scripting language for a long time, but i would want to learn one that is compatible for many programs and uses. If i wanted to make 2D games, playable on flash, can i only use flash programming? Or can you convert it somehow? Lol, i'm lost on what i want to attempt learning, would you guys reccomend C++?

C++ is for console applications
For flash, you use actionscript

At your age I recommend learning something easier. If you're looking to make a game, use some already made game engines like UDK or unity. If you're looking to make a program/interface, use visual basic or something.

How old do you think he is?
He's around the same age as me if I remember correctly, and I can use C++ pretty decently.

1) Pretty sure you and I are like the same exact age.

2) I'm not interested in trying to be cool by making a giant mmo like you are. I know my limits.

1: I'm 15, I thought you were 12 or 13.

2: Did I say I wanted to make a giant mmo? I just want to make a simple game using unity. Well if you consider a Graal server a "giant mmo" then yes, maybe you are right. Anyways I gave you two of the easiest suggestions to making games if you are interested in making one, and a simple solution to making an interface. Many people I know that are my age use visual basic to make games and interfaces.

Just stop trolling. And I'm not 12 or 13.

sorry last time I talked to you you were either 12 or 13 so you must be 14 sorry. And aren't you the one trolling? I was just trying to give you advice and you suddenly decide to say I try to do things much more difficult then I am capable and that I'm just trying to sound cool.

Just shut up.
This is a thread for learning, not trolling.

Well, I'm still a bit confused about how wxWidget works in correlation to C++.. can anybody provide some more insight please?
