Hi I'm 10 years old and want to start learning C++.
Can you use a Mac or does it have to be a PC?
Also what's the best way to get started.
I'm mostly interested in programming games,is C++ the best way to go?

Heyas.

For programming in C++, you can use any operating system that supports a C++ compiler. Macs have XCode, which includes a C++ compiler, so... nope! You can use a Mac.

The best way to get started... I'd say grab a C++ compiler, read through some tutorials, and start solving problems! The tutorial on this site is excellent, but the language could be hard at times, so see how this one works for you:

For problems:

As for game programming... it may take years of learning before you get even near the skill level required to program games, but it's well worth the trip. C++ is one of the better ways to go if you want excellent results but have large amounts of time. And I mean large amounts. :)
