Program Recommendations for a Noob?
Anyone on here got any ideas for fun programs I can practice building to help me learn C++ classes pointers objects inheritance and what not? Or just any interesting programs to practice would be really cool as well, please keep in mind i am quite inexperienced and don't know too much yet, I appreciate it! :D
One of the earliest programs I made was to calculate an amortization schedule. I know it doesn't sound all that fun, but when you realize what saving a couple bucks every day can do for you in the long run... (Guess that's just me, but it's really simple to set up)
total amount = (Total amount + amount added ) * rate earned yearly
then repeat for x years.
Well anyways, the other suggestion is tick tack toe, which actually can be a bit more complicated when you have to use actual characters to make the squares, but it is possible and there are plenty of examples on this site, just search around a bit.
You kind of have to make your own fun until you start working with real graphics instead of just the consul applications. One of the easiest ways to learn is to look through the programs posted on here for help and try to figure out where the program went wrong.
If you need a brush-up on the basics, I found this guy's tutorials very helpful. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPv0HQ8xOaU&feature=BFa&list=PLAE85DE8440AA6B83
