Beginner Questions
Hi,
I am a complete beginner in C++ and I have been recently been learning C++ in Xcode. I have 2 questions that seem to be confusing me;
1. I have created a new project (cmd line tool) to create C++ coding. However, when i try and make another project, it decides to sit inside this existing project and therefore when i go to build-run, it executes the first project and does not execute anything in the second project.. why? (using Xcode ver 4.2.1)
2. Once the C++ code is made how do go about viewing the project? if its code for a game, how do I play this game? obviously the file format is .cpp. Will i need to convert this to .dmg and use another program to view and play?
3. Also, to go around expanding this code and start making links and buttons etc for a (game), what other software is recommended other then Xcode - or if Xcode where in Xcode?
Apologies if this doesn't make sense but hey I'm new :) Thanks.
