Hey im 13 also and I am programming with C++. And I just started programming like this month but i know alot. Lets say this do what I did get a book or two i suggest beggining C++ and Beggining game programming with C++. Just learn the basics, start with some text editors (mini note pads) then create some interactive stuff and move to games. HMMMM well Ill say im some how very good at computers and programming but....im not tht good in school or math.... And i think starting at 13 is a huge head start

Keep going at it and learn the basics. And I suggest not getting Visual Basic...I hate it. And I suggest before going into your fully own 3D games from scratch do conten for O.S. Games and do O.S. Mods. I do stuff for Eternal-Lands.
HEre is the site to get Dev-C++(unless you want to buy a nice C++ compiler)

Any questions or need my help then please PM me, email me, or add me on MSN!

well, acually, i've got a problem...i've gotten books, and they are all the the format :

Quote:

//Piggy-Bank's test

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <iostream.h>

void main ()
{
cout << "compiler problem";
}

and it never compiles it...so, im kinda confuse on how to USE the bloodshed compiler...could anyone help me?

Well i have the same problem. I use the same compiler and when I compile the program it says where the errors are "Cant run program" and there are no other errors and just says that. So yea I neeed help on that to, and no matter how many times i restart/reinstall that program it wont work.

Piggy-Bank · 07-12-2006, 04:50 AM

well, with mine, i can't even RUN the ting

....think its the compiler? ino....because the books im using all use different things EX: /* or just plain old #include something

Beazel · 07-12-2006, 05:12 AM

Try this:

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	cout << "This is a test?\n";
	system("PAUSE");
}

This compiles and runs for Code::Blocks, should work for Dev-C++ as well.

It doens't work because the cout thing is declared in a namespace, you need to add

using namespace std; to the top of your file. (Below the includes)

I did everything right even the helloworld program examples, and when I compile it in the compile tab it says "unable to run program file"
and there is no syntax or any other errors.

Heres wat it says in the compile log:
Compiler: Default compiler
Building Makefile: "C:\Dev-Cpp\Makefile.win"
Executing make...
make.exe -f "C:\Dev-Cpp\Makefile.win" all
Execution terminated
PLZ HELP!

Piggy-Bank · 07-12-2006, 07:38 PM

yea...it works now, after i put in namespace std;,.....BUT, now the problem is that my book doesn't tell me to do that. lol, im reading DUmmies 101: C++ programming, published in 1996, so....has C++ improved? becuase int aht book, it just has void main () and other stuff

ractoc · 07-12-2006, 09:11 PM

Yes they added namespaces after 1996
which is the problem I have with todays C++
seeing that I haven't used it in a while...

Beazel · 07-12-2006, 09:27 PM

That book's a bit old. :rolleyes:

I'd recommend reading these tutorials: http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial.html
