   Hmm is c++ what i think it is?
  This may be a dumb question but is c++ capable of making games such as counter-strike, Diablo2, etc. not just games but regular everyday windows programs.. Because i have been trying to learn c++ for a while and i have been seeing nothing but dos programs... Just curiouse heh ty in advance.[edited by - cablenewt on February 15, 2004 1:28:36 AM]
  Yes C++ is capable of making games such as Counter-Strike, Diablo 2 etc, as a matter of fact, it was used to make those games and countless other. The dos programs are just what are made when there are no windows coding. You can find tutorials and examples for creating a window on various sites. One in particular is :http://nehe.gamefaqs.comTutorial 1 is how to set up a window.- Dark One ;  Thanks for fast reply... Would you sugest that i stay in dos untill i have a good knowledge of c++? Btw the link is not working :/   [edited by - cablenewt on February 15, 2004 1:31:38 AM];  Yes you can make just about anything with C/C++.    "If you are not willing to try, you will never succeed!"Grellin;  Darn, you beat me to replying, and it was something I could actually answer ;( I had to sign up and it got me to be a member of the boards  Do Dos first, by the way. Its much easier. Or you're in windows knowing nothing that's pre-scripted. Big headaches occure. Know your stuff in dos first.http://phil.webula.netAIM: wuZZup189   [edited by - philvaira on February 15, 2004 1:34:24 AM];  I would suggest you stay creating DOS programs untill you have mastered most of the basics of C++ ;  Well, that depends on you really. I learnt my basics in dos and it's easier to learn in dos. If you need some tutorials for the really basics, you might want to check out the C++ tutorials on www.gametutorials.com <--Had to change the link I had the wrong oneThey have really good tutorials on the basics of C++ coding.- Dark One   [edited by - DarkOneEntertainment on February 15, 2004 1:36:29 AM];  K thank you verry much guys... Looks like i found a new board to hang around on  I have c++ for dummies :/ just never got around to reading it   I am also using the dev's c++ compiler is that ok to use?[edited by - cablenewt on February 15, 2004 1:34:51 AM] [edited by - cablenewt on February 15, 2004 1:35:35 AM];  Make that two of us  Just found this place.   http://phil.webula.netAIM: wuZZup189 ;  *sigh* This is a beautiful thing.
