Help :( Newbie
Hi everyone. I want to be a game programmer but... Idk how this Microsft Visual Studio 2010 works. I got a book (Computing concepts with C++ essentials) that my relatives gave me. Soooo I'm just confused..... My uncle told me microsoft is complicated because it gives multiple things at you that I don't even know. :( So where do I begin? If you make a guide, that would be helpful. Sorry for bad grammer. lol
Programming Tutorials
I'd reccomend starting here: http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/
The tutorials on this site will take you through the basics.
Game Programming
After you get a handle on c++ programming, you can look up some game related tutorials (openGL, DirectX, Allegro), but not before, as game programming is incedibly complex, and you need a good handle on programming in general to not drown in the complexities involved.
How To Use MSVC++:
As for how to use MSVC++, you would mostly want to make a new 'Console Application', or 'Empty Project' and add .cpp files to that.
The journey from beginner to game programmer takes a long time and a lot of effort, don't give up though, it's very rewarding in the end.

Just have a look on youtube

some really good tutorials are made by bucky

@The Palm tree: Thank you, I always motivate myself to make a game like battlefield 3 and APB: reloaded but I know it takes time and effort.

Hey there, when you get a good handle on c++ there is a really good set of tutorials for beginner gaming found here:
http://devmaster.net/categories/articles?page=2
But they don't explain the basics of the code used so you have to have a general understanding of c++. Good luck just stick with it :)
