I''m new to C++ and have just found this site recently. I was making games in Visual Basic but after reading a few articles I think its best if I start to learn C++ if I want a chance on getting into the Games Industry as a Programmer. I have one book on C++ ''Same Teach Yourself C++ in 24 hours'' t help me but I was wondering if there was any sites or books (preferbly sites for faster access tonight) that have tutorials on starting a game in C++ and have the code to go along with it. I would be happy for any help given. Thanks Tomoso

Hey!
I am new here too... But a lot of the hosted sites have a lot of information. Check:
http://www.gamedev.net/features/hosted/
-Voytek

Trick of the Windows Game programming gurus - Lamothe
Game Programming for Dummies - lamothe


Good starting books, but use DX 6 (old).

This site is good. Try their hosted sites NeHe, etc..

There are numerous sites on c++ and opengl/directx......

CPlusPlus for example,.. just go over to Google and search for c++ tutorials.......

Check out my game Asteroidz, it rules !!!

cplusplus.com is a bad resource for learning C++. I''ve been trying to find a contact address (lazily) so I can email them on their use of old, non-standard headers (which will introduce non-standard behaviors and practices). So until they (and cpp-home) make that change, I''ve blacklisted them as "bad" resources.

Thanks to Kylotan for the idea!

I started learning C++ with no prior knowledge and by far the most useful book I have is ''Game Programming All In One'' by de Sousa. He goes through everything you need and leads to working code of a Breakout clone.

Very Useful.
