Beginning Game Programming
closed account (jw6XoG1T)
[b]Hey guys. I've been learning C++ for a couple months now. I've pretty much learned most of the basics of it. However what i really want help with is getting started with game programming. Especially on how to you graphic libraries with DevC++ such as SFML or openGl etc. I've been having trouble getting started with making something basic and i was hoping someone could get me on the right track.
All i really want to know is:
1) What are the essential things i should know.
2) What libraries should i download (and how should i download them because i've tried and failed with SFML lol)
3) And basically the process of making a game....like what occurs from start to end.
any feedback would be great. As well as on here...you can message me at sarim.janjua2013@gmail.com. Also, if you could send me source code for a simple game that maybe you made and wouldnt mind sharing, that would be awesome. I feel as though if i see an example game's code, ill have a better understanding on how to make a game. Thanks in advance for any help!

You can find the source code for many simple games by running a google search. Try it! =)

Start by not using DevC++. The reason you probably had trouble getting SFML set up with it is because DevC++ is ancient.
SFML has tutorials to get it set up with other IDEs, like MSVC++ or Code::Blocks. Either one of those would be better than DevC++.

also i was just hoping i could find someone on here that i could ask questions lol. If they've created a game before then im sure i would get better results learning from them than just looking up pointless tutorials and confusing books. it makes it easier to follow along lol
