I wanna learn c++ and my problem is that it's so big..
When i started qb you could learn about all in the help section, but when using c++ there are so many libarys that i don't know where to begin..
In school we learned the basic, how to print text and how diffrent functions work but i can't move along.. I haven't figured how to draw gfx!
Where should i begin?
All you need to know about C/C++ *are* the basics: functions, variables, constants, the usual, and if you're using C++, you'll probably want to learn classes&objects
Past that, just use a library reference. That's all you need to learn the functions.
For graphics: there are no standard libraries for C/C++ that include graphical functions. You can get
Allegro, and *excellent* library that uses DirectX, and has everything you need (it's also easy to use, and extremely fast). If you know assembly, you can make your own graphics functions, assemble them to .objs, and then just link them with your C++ proggies.
But really. Allegro rules. :wink:
Thx for your reply!
I'll check it out, i just have one question..
I'll need a c++ complier, can you recommend one?
Dev-C++
It's "small" and easy to find.

Not to mention free.
12MB not really "small". Dev-c++ itself you can download at 2.4MB but the mingw compiler takes a lot of wieght.
Well, MSVC 6 is 300Mb, so I would rather call DevC++ and MinGW "small".
uncompressed dev-c++ is 50+ mb. however, it's nice to have.
Dev-C++ rocks. The IDE could be better, but otherwise it's great. Easy multi-module interface, the whole thing.
