Where to begin with basic game programming?
May 27, 2013 at 9:15am
Hello everyone,
I've recently been picking back up on C++ where I left off a while ago.
What I want to begin doing is learning how to make games using C++
(Starting out with very simple 2D, I'm not trying to shoot for the stars),
But I find it very hard to understand where I need to start.
I already have decent knowledge of the language itself, And I've searched quite a lot, but I can't find a good place to start with game dev when it comes down to it.
What I tend to find is either an argument of what C++ is "made for", Or just no answer to begin with.
In short what I'm looking for is what exactly I need to begin with game development in C++, I've heard of things like Ogre3D, And it's something I've looked into, but I don't want to jump into it without some advice...
Any help is greatly appreciated, and I thank all who answer in advance.
