   Am i following the right path?
  hiive started to learn c++ in the idea of creating my own pc games. ive started by studying "beginning c++ game programming" so far i think its a good book but im not so sure. has anyone got any ideas of any books or programs to start learning please?thankyou   
  What is your background with software development/programming?If you don't have any background, I would recommend with a something really, really simply to get an understanding of programming.You can try learning Flash/Actionscript first, infact, many of the games out there are built with it (EA Sports Games front-end is built using it).If you're a high school student, I would recommend playing around with Scratch: http://scratch.mit.edu/ ... I heard alot of good things about it for learning about simple programming concepts.Otherwise, try learning C# rather than C++. Once you get a really good understanding of the language, they have the XNA game SDK which you can build games with.;Quote:Original post by lukespugso far i think its a good book but im not so sure.If it's teaching you stuff, then it's good for you. Isn't it?
