Need Help

[MattB]

:help: Ya I wanna create a space/strategy/simulation game. Those type of games where you have a space ship and you fly around the galaxy buying,selling,trading,bounty hunting, pirating,ect.. The only problem is that I do not have a clue what to do. I have all summer to learn so if any one has a website or something that they know that could be helpful I would really appreciate it.




All I know is HTML. I don't think that well help though. Does any one know a website that I can learn c++?

What programming language do you know?
How are you standing with programming theory?

[omg]

if you dont want to code try game maker. you will need to use scripting to milk it. c++ some people find that handy. there are loads of resources at the top of the page on a sticky.

Only way I know to do that is C++. You could do it in AGS, but it'd be mostly scripting. If the flight sim uses the mouse that is. :)

C++ isn't something that you could learn in few days, for only part with C you would approx need 2 or 3 weeks (depends on your free time and will).

Best is to start from book, but if you want you could try from tutorials ...

A few link.
Cprogramming (http://www.cprogramming.com/)
Cplusplus (http://www.cplusplus.com/)
C++ Home (http://www.cpp-home.com/index/tiki-view_blog.php?blogId=1)
ProgrammersHeaven (http://www.programmersheaven.com/)

If you don't have any experience with programming and won't deal with it in future, I would advice you to leave C++ and try for Visual Basic, it's easier to learn and to program with it. A lot! :ok:

If you wanna learn c++, then, IMO, you're much better off buying a book than learning it off some website. I felt it worked out easier that way.

With allegro he still needs to know C.

[Kon-Tiki]

Only the very basics anymore. It's like C in kiddy shoes.
