I have been reading a couple of books of C++ and I am finaly understanding some tougher concepts that I have been running into (such as pointers, character arays, etc). The only problem is that I can not think of anything to program with these things. I learn by doing, and I really want to start practicing what I read. Does anybody know of any sites that I can find things to program, to practice what I have learned? Thanks!

Try my site, but first learn to program in console mode. Are you learning from a book, or a class ? What is the most complex program you wrote ? It''s okay if it is a hello program, I just want to know what is your next step.


I''m not into Game Development. Hell, I should not even be posting on GameDev. It''s the lounge that I''m addicted to.

If you can''t find any practical C++ applications in your book or here, why not just go to C++.com and look there!They have a wide array of things for the beginners and professionals alike.

NOTE: spell it out (ie. cplusplus.com)

Something will undoubtedly come up. It''s just a matter of time until you need something specific done and you can''t find it on the net or somewhere else. Me, for example: Right now I''m writing a little program to change the properties of the weapons in SoFII. I haven''t been able to find that on the net sos I started writing my own. I also write alot of code for me mum, i.e., a program that adds minutes to 12:00am in a Fibonacci sequence for 180 days(length of school year). so day 2 would be 12:01, day 3 would be 12:03, and so on.(Her students are learning analog time, so...) ''Probably not much help, but...

Back when I started out learning how to program I wrote text-adventures or text-based rpgs. Those games can be as simple or complex as you want them to be.

And as you decide what you want to make the possible uses of all the C++ language features will become apparent to you.
