Well it all depends on what type of programming your looking to get into, I would suggest learning SDL.
If you want to get into graphics programming, maybe even game development than you'll want to learn use a graphics API like Opengl or DirectX. -PB |

Yeah, that's the exact route I went. C++, Console, Basic Windows, Win32 GDI, SDL then OpenGL. It's all be going over the span of a single game which keeps getting upgraded. First from crappy 2d, to slow 2d, to fast 2d, to 3d now ^_^.

And Total War, you have no coded several MMOs at the age of 14. And yes, sometimes age has a role in game deveopment. It's more likely that a 35 year old man has made 3 ORPGs rather than a 14 year old made 3 ORPGs. |

Great article!
Anyone getting started, you have to realize that programming a game isn't all fun and games until you are done and can then spend all your time playing the game. Don't give up though, even if its complicated or boring at first. The rewards are worth the effort! Also, start with a small project. Set yourself up to succeed, not fail. Work your way up slowly to bigger and bigger things.

Iam following a gaming education and I have the subject Programming ofcourse and i learn Blitz first. I don't know why though maybe because it's easier than C++, anyway my point is if you want to learn some basic coding i can tell you, you can go to www.blitzbasic.com as well and order that program. You can make pretty nice things in it even the MMORPG engine RealmCrafter is written in it. Well to make a long story short if you want to learn to program you have some choices in languages and i can tell you that Blitz is easier than C++. Iam off coding again at my 3D game
