What should i really be learning?

[fetzjr]

Okay sooo I have been working on the tutorial on this site. I just finished the Functions II lesson, and am now moving on to arrays. I have already done like 2 other C++ books, but quit after about 6-8 lessons, all for the same reason. I feel as if all I am learning is how to make a calculator in a DOS window. Unfortunately, someone already made one of those calculator thingys with C++. My goal is to make programs to help people, or make some type of game... or some type of mod. Should i being doing a differnent tutorial? I was looking at SFML and it looked pretty cool, but i am not sure if i am ready for that! What are you guys opinions? As i said, i just learned about functions...

Once you reach classes, you should be able to handle SFML.
At your point, you're good for SDL or OpenGL.

Cool! I still have to reffer to the tutorial alot... I ussualy don't format my code correctly.

For instance: Is it: (SIZE, wD, p, i);

or: (SIZE, wD,p,i);


I think this comes with flying through 6 lessons in an hour 1/2 without testing what i have learned enough, guess i need to slow down my learning a little :D Too eager to learn to be god of C++ so fast haha.

Thankyou for your help!!

I don't think that makes any difference.

But I'm used to format my code like in your first example.
