Visual C# Game Development...?

Where can I find a tutorial (better to be a video tutorial) that teaches how to develop games using Microsoft Visual C# 2005 Express Edition?

Visual C# Game Development...?

Reply:Pheewww.


I don't think its as easy as just watching a video!


I have the official Microsoft Visual C# book to help me!


Microsoft do have videos on their site I think, I prefer reading from paper though. To be able to teach you how to do games programming in a video, I reckon the video is going to be a few hours long!


Good luck though, Ant...

PIC programming in C language?

Any web giving free basic tutorial for learning basics of PIC programming using language "C"

PIC programming in C language?
Check out the vendor website for application notes... Also forums are a great source of help.





IAR systems offeres a free compiler (the workbench edition) I used their version for AVR micros and was quite pleased with it. The AVR workbench edition for AVR was limited to a 4K compile and did not have loating point math libraries. (THe full version is not limited) I do not know exactly what limits IAR would place on the workbench edition for Microchip PIC's.

Visual c++?

i have had absolutely no experience of programming. every tutorial i find is for people with programming experience. I have the microsoft visual c++ express edition but i can't find a good tutorial. If someone could provide a link to one i would be forever grateful

Visual c++?
cplusplus.com tutorial - Excellent tutorial for learning C++ from the basic level. Highly recommended





Bruce Eckels Mindview - Also an excellent site for learning C++, mostly because of the freely downloadable Thinking in C++ in 2 volumes. These are some of the best explanations of the C++ language, but definitely at a more advanced level. Books are available here





cprogramming.com tutorial - another good site for C++ programming tutorials. They are not quite as methodical as the cplusplus.com tutorials, but they are very useful.





MSDN for C++ - Microsoft's site for the Visual Studio 2005 C++ compiler that we use in this class.





C++ Links from Bjarne Stroustrup - This is a collection of links about C++ that is maintained by the originator of C++ (who now teaches at Texas A%26amp;M)
Reply:Great tuorial





http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial.htm...
Reply:With absolutely no programming experience you may want to get a good book on basic C++ programming ( I find it easier to work from books rather than Web sites/online tutorials etc.)





Its been so long since I read any of them though ?I can't think of a good one - But recently I bought c++ for dummies which is good both for the basics and more advanced features in the language. Good reference book

I highly recommend getting a book. You have no idea how bad an idea it is to solely rely on the web, especially if you have 0 programming experience.





Take a look at http://accu.org/index.php/book_reviews?u...





The organization reviews books for technical accuracy. You'll notice there's a lot of bad books that get good reviews on Amazon (they are wrong technically). There's two good ones I recommend: C++ primer by Lippman and Accelerated C++ by Koenig. Accelerated C++ is pretty fast in pace and is probably more suited if you have prior experience, so perhaps C++ primer is a better choice for you.





Please do *not* go for Visual C++ specific tutorials. Unlike generic C++ tutorials, they are designed to work specifically with Visual C++ only. You won't understand and learn C++ properly, you won't learn programming properly.

I need C++ Help?

OK, so i wanted to write C++ on OSX. Someone told me to install Xcode, so I did. I opened it up, opened up a new C++ file, and typed a simple program from a tutorial. However, I can't compile it! The menu option for compile is grayed out (in fact all of the build tools are). Why can't I compile it?





Sorry, I have never programmed before (i have only done web design and XML; and a one-week crash course in computer class on C programming). In computer class we had a program (Borlan C or something) where we typed in our code, pressed compile, and ran the programs. That is the extent of my knowledge. Why won't Xcode let me do that, and how do I get it to let me?!?





Thanks.

I need C++ Help?
you get it from the second disk in an os x package or it's on the BIG dvd as an extra install!





if you don't mind downloading extra stuff, you can get your c compiler here


http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/de...
Reply:I guess you didn't install a compiler like gcc for example. Xcode doesn't come with a prebuilt compiler so you must install it afterwards.


Gcc is included with Xcode Tools so installing this should fix it.


http://developer.apple.com/tools/xcode/
Reply:"However, I can't compile it! The menu option for compile is grayed out (in fact all of the build tools are). Why can't I compile it?"


Probably because you didn't install the build tools. Xcode is just an IDE. That is, a nice environment for you type code and have it compiled for you. The actual compilation is done by the compiler.





I don't use Macs, but IIRC you should have a CD or set of CDs from Apple with developer tools on them. Install whatever is relevant to C++. It should be Gcc, gdb, the C++ libraries, etc.





"n computer class we had a program (Borlan C or something) where we typed in our code, pressed compile, and ran the programs. "


Yeah, basically they taught you nothing about C++.

What should the next step be for game programming in C++?

I've learned the basics of C++ and have made some simple games, such as Tic-Tac-Toe, but I want to learn how to program graphics in the games. I've tried to learn Directx, but all of the books I've read are way too complex like I missed a step in learning game programming. Does anybody have a suggestion or know any other books or tutorials that could help me out?

What should the next step be for game programming in C++?
I'd suggest downloading a copy of the C++ version of Visual Studio Express (it's free) and start writing some windows applications. There are plenty of books on the topic, and a huge amount of free information and demos on the web. Start learning to draw primitive (lines, shapes, images) using GDI pens, brushes etc. Learn how to eliminate flicker by drawing things to a bitmap and then drawing that bitmap on the screen in one go (google "double buffering"). Next try simple animations i.e. moving the objects around on the screen. Finally learn how to read the mouse, keyboard and joystick.





It might sound like a lot to learn, but there's plenty of info on the net to help you, and once you how to do these things you'll be able to develop a huge range of 2D games.





Once you feel ready to take the plunge into 3D I'd suggest downloading the C# version of Visual Studio Express and a copy of XNA. C# is very similar to C++ but much, much easier and faster to develop for. XNA is Microsoft's game development library, it takes care of all the usual headaches of DirectX so that you can concentrate on the game itself. Plus it has plenty of support and examples to help get you started. It'll also allow you to write games for both PC and the XBox 360.
Reply:You might want to consider some university courses. To understand graphics, especially 3D graphics, you need to understand linear algebra and matrices.





When you have a good grasp of the underlying math, the purposes of the functions and data structures will be more clear.


Are there any certification exams for c/c++ without any learning courses attached with it ?

i alredy have the knowledge of c and c++.


I don't want to join any tutorial type classes , rather i want to just give a certification exam.

Are there any certification exams for c/c++ without any learning courses attached with it ?
why are you asking a computer programming question in the Special Ed section?
Reply:there are exams for c and c++ from state technical board.


Other option can be NIIT prometric center.
Reply:yeah there are Microsoft Certification Programes called MCP u can get these from NIIT.... These are international certifications
Reply:Look...You can take the microsoft exam, but those are EXTREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE... Hard. You can obtain copied test papers in PDF format and try them.





For C++/C, Download DarkSDK with Visual C++ and test your skills in game developing...cause publishing a game will make you more extreme than any stupid certificate. Mention in your CV that you create your own games in c++ (just for fun), and DAMN!!! Job offers come fast.


C++ design questions?

I'm new to C++ and have been learning through a online tutorial, and am familiar with basic programs and variable and arrays, but i was wondering how to design the program such as adding labels, textboxes, and buttons. I see the toolbox to do this but dont know the codes or anything I have however done this before with vb i dont know if that will help.

C++ design questions?
The MFC has a GUI code generator.
Reply:If you have a toolbox, just select the button or whatever and then place it on the screen. Right click will probably give you the option to select "Properties" where you can set name and click event handler. It will generate to code for you. I can;t be more specific because you don't tell what brand of IDE you are using.

C# Programming Games Tutuorial (Visual Studio 2008, Direct X 10)?

I was curious if anyone knew where I can find a decent tutorial, book, or guide for how to program simple 3d games in C# code using visual studio 2008 express and directX 10. The tutorial need not be for absolute beginners to C#, but preferably not too esoteric. I can locate a fair amount for previous years, but, while not much has changed between visual studio 2005 and 2008 (though some stuff has), there is a huge difference between directX 10 and directX 9. If anyone knows where I can find a guide or tutorial for this, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

C# Programming Games Tutuorial (Visual Studio 2008, Direct X 10)?

Which programming skills do I need to know to program something like an Internet casino (in C/C++ or C#)?

I don't gamble online, but I'm interested in learning the technologies, knowledge and skills required to make a network applications like chats, online video grames, netmeeting and the like.


I'm an autodidact and already know C/C++, C# and Java but I've done little programs so far, now I want to apply it to some interest project.





Which progamming language is better?


Online tutorials and resources.


Books.


Web sites and online communities.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Which programming skills do I need to know to program something like an Internet casino (in C/C++ or C#)?
I've found learning by doing a great way to study programming. In other words write something small, then build on what you learned. Here, I'd start with just a web site that permits sign-ups but provides no serivces. That's difficult enough to implement for starters.





C/C++ are overkill for what you're talking about. C# and Java are more appropriate. If you want a highly reliable and secure system you probably want to use Linux which largely excludes C#.





This leaves you with Java which is a common choice for implementing online systems.





Another option is Python (my personal favorite), which - together with mod_python for Apache - provides great performance and may be all you need.





For a database back-end you'll want PostgreSQL (free) or mySQL (commercial license).





For the actual user front end you'll most likely want to use Flash, which is an entire development environment of its own.





You can find online tutorials for all of the above on Google.

so many pple think they will start programming becuz it seems like itd be cool to make games and then they try and cant get it and quit, but good luck anyways lol
Reply:You need a compiler. I strongly recommend Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. Or you can use gcc or Dev C++.





Also, it is better to go to a bookstore and pick a good book to practice your programming with. Some good books are "Learning how to program in C++" by deitel or "C++ Primer."
Reply:you can try Robert Lafore's book on C++ it is very easy. Of course a TC++/BC++ compiler VC++ also fine.

Need to practice C++ during the summer. Any good, free tutorial websites?

Okay, I took a computer science class in this semester in college and I found it really interesting. The problem is that the instructor wasn't very good. He mainly taught us definitions through power point presentations. We NEVER did any actual coding in class, just in homework that he NEVER graded..





Anyway, I got some of the basics down but I really wanna learn more. I'm a really hands on learner, so I'm looking for a site that teaches basics up to intermediate stuff. A site where I'm shown something, like a multi-dimensional array, explained what it is, given fairly simple programs, that I can test, to show how it's implemented. Teaching through going through the step by step process of creating a simple program would be awesome too. I just don't to have to read a bunch of definitions and be left to figure out how to use the stuff on my own.





I'd prefer a free website, but if you know an amazingly good book or something, I'll gladly go to Border's or somewhere and check it out.

Need to practice C++ during the summer. Any good, free tutorial websites?
Before you get too involved in Storm Sam's suggestions you need to actually learn the C++ language.





Maybe I am old fashioned but I don't find web sites a good way to learn languages. As a reference, yes; for learning not so much.





Assuming you are on a limited (but not non-existent) budget I would suggest the following two books:





(1) "Thinking in C++" is a *free* two volume pdf. It is solid and you can't beat the price. You can get off the web at http://www.mindview.net/Books/TICPP/Thin...





(2) Deitel and Deitel's C++ How to Program will teach you well. It is expensive, often somewhat annoying to read, but packed with examples and exercises. If you work your way through it and do the exercises you will have a very solid grasp of the language be among the best C++ programmers at your school by the fall. It comes with source for the examples and some other resources.

I need a language with a .NET framework, I will be using Visual Studio as my IDE. I am a beginner and do not know much, but I do have access to video tutorials.





Which of these languages is easier to learn? (VB.NET?)

Which has more demand for and growing?





Thanks for any helpful advice! Happy Holidays!

Visual Basic 2005/2008 (VB.NET) OR C#.NET?
I would consider VB.NET easier to learn because it is more like English, but C# is more like most programming languages in terms of syntax and structure.





You can find plenty of work in either.

Reply:Well, I don't know how advanced your C++ curriculum is. But, maybe check out www.cplusplus.com . Besides tutorials, they also have sample code.





And why New Delhi? I know the stereotype is that Indians are good programmers, but I'm sure there's plenty good programmers locally.


How retain the data in a variable in C programming( not C++) after closing the program???

Iam trying to make a information system using C, not C++ but i want to save the changes done when i open my program and close it and when i open again it does'nt go back to the original but the retains the changes done.


Meaning A was originally 1 but when i run the program i changed A into 3 and when i close the program and then open again i want A to be 3 not 1.


Can anyone help cause i cant seem to understand the tutorials in the internet.


tnx :)

How retain the data in a variable in C programming( not C++) after closing the program???
Store the data in a file. When the program starts up, read the values from the file. When the program ends, write the new values to the file.





Suppose you want variables a, b, and c... (double-check my syntax)








FILE *iniFile;





/* Open the file and read in the values */


if ( (iniFile = fopen("mydata.ini","r"))==NULL) {


printf("Unable to open file for read!\n");


exit 1;


}





/* Read in the values */


if ( fscanf(iniFile, "%d %d %d", %26amp;a, %26amp;b, %26amp;c) != 3 ) {


printf("Error - not enough values on ini file\n");


}


fclose();








/* Write out new values -


NOTE: this wipes out previous values */


if ( (iniFile = fopen("mydata.ini","w"))==NULL) {


printf("Unable to open file for write!\n");


exit 1;


}





/* Write out the values */


if ( ! fprintf(iniFile, "%d %d %d", %26amp;a, %26amp;b, %26amp;c) ) {


printf("Error - unable to write file\n");


}


fclose();
Reply:When you close the program just save any variable or change or whatever in an external file (such as a*.cfg file or what you like the most).

I have bought 2 books, the first going over very basic, and the next a bit more advanced.





I want to be able to program with graphics! How do I do that!


Nothing will tell me! I don't wan to buy any more books, I'm pretty much broke, I'm using Dev-C++ as my compiler, as I can't afford a high quality one.


Someone name a website or place that offers free tutorials that teach you programing with graphics. I don't want something that just shows source code, that is dumb, because you don't know what It means, I want something that will show, and describe to me how to do. Thank you

for games gamedev.net


but to learn graphics go to codeproject.com


u have to use MFC,WTL,ATL or similar library file provided by others to do graphics


the basic graphic can be done using win32

C++ for beginners, now what?

I just finished a c++ for beginners book. I know the basics, can build some pretty nice console apps and stuff, but my question is; Where do i go from here? I cant seem to find anything that transistions into windows apps/games and things like that. It seems that all the books/tutorials are all either very beginner or advandced, I feel kinda stuck. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

C++ for beginners, now what?
Take a C++ course at a local community college. That's how I learned Java.





Once you're feeling up to it, search the internet for "Design Patterns". You'll find lots of references. Design Patterns are to Object Oriented programming what Data Structures are to Procedural programming.





If you can start to become familiar with Design Patterns, then you're C++ coding will become much better.





Good Luck.

Smart pointers, templates, COM/DCOM etc..





try VC++ or gcc(4 all platforms other than windows.)
Reply:Get the bloodshed dev-cpp system and download the SDL (graphic/sound/and more) libraries. There is lots of good stuff on the SDL site that you can learn from by example.

C#/.NET to Java/J2EE developer? Where do I start?

I'm a ASP.NET developer coding in C# and am interested in getting started with Java and the J2EE platform. Where do I start?

I'm looking for techniques and development styles that are new and are widely utilized in today's business.





Thanks!!

C#/.NET to Java/J2EE developer? Where do I start?
If you said that you wanted to move from VB.NET to Java, I would say it would be a bit of an effort. However from C# to Java, it is a lot more easier. You will be surprised how similar the syntax of the two languages are.





The sun website is a good place to start learning java. There are a lot of other websites that have good tutorials but it depends what you want to learn.....When you say java, it is pretty vast. There is a lot in java and it will depend on what you are trying to learn.





Example you mentioned you were coding in ASP. NET so I assume you are intrested in web side programming. Java has JSF, JSP, Strurts, Servlets etc. A lot of these are interlinked but like i said it all depends what you want to learn to program in.

C++ prgramming question...?

k so i waswondering, first of all is C++ the prgram you use to make simple games? liek rpgs ns tuff. and does this look liek a god site to teach me how? http://lazyfoo.net/SDL_tutorials/index.p...

C++ prgramming question...?
Yes, C++ is used in the industry, but it is used for complex 3D games.





if you are interested in game programming, I suggest starting off making games like Pong





there's no way you could make a full RPG without at least 5 years programming experience





or, you could cheat and use RPG maker =]
Reply:It is, though you must have a great amount of knowledge and experience to create complex games. You should go to your local library and pick up a C++ programming book, find one that is for beginners if you are just starting.
Reply:The Programming language you use to make simple games is the programming language you're using. SDL looks more like C than C++. There is some overlap and especially because you do this sort of thing with a library like SDL which is not instrinsically part of the language. If you don't know either C or C++ then I have to say no. Find a more basic tutorial which uses iostream or stdio.h for text-based output, and once you understand program structure jump to SDL. Or allegro.

I have to make a big decission! It is Microsoft C# or Linux C! I know just a little bit about c#!?

I know nothing about C!


In the same time I want to catch up with the latest stuff and go with C# but I also want to learn about C in Linux, sockets and a liitle bit of lower level like C(do not give me assembly)


I do not know wich one to start off with first and every single time I decide on something, I try and find tutorials, but I suddenly feel that want to go back to the other one! It is a weird feeling and I also think I got some mental problem ! Please help me with this and do not tell me to look on the other discovered questions!


Could I go with both at the same time since they have a similar syntax?? (not really similar but close)

I have to make a big decission! It is Microsoft C# or Linux C! I know just a little bit about c#!?
I vote for MS C#. I love their new Visual Studio.
Reply:Wow, you are really being pulled in 2 directions here. Coding C on Linux is about as far from C# as you can get. It will probably be in your benefit to learn C very well (especially pointers) and then move onto C++ before really understanding C#. C# may look incredibly simple, and it is, but internally it is very complicated. Fortunately, you rarely have to worry about this complications, but sometimes it will become important, and the average ignorant C# code won't know how or why something is performing as it is. Note that C# can run on Linux too (lookup Mono).
Reply:Learn C# simply because of money. C# programmers can easily make 100,000 a year with just 4 years experience. C programmers are a dime a dozen and average 60-70K a year. C# is quickly becoming the standard in most shops and people are needed. C is old and is not built well and will confuse you when you want to make the jump to C#. C# is highly object-oriented while C is more procedural. That's like asking - should I learn to use an abacus or a calculator... I'd choose calculator any day.
Reply:read these links hope thins help...start with ANSI C then go ahead with c++





happy coding :)





Cheerz, Steven
Reply:You know, if you get the VS C++ Express and VS C# from Microsoft, you can learn both, as far as sockets and networking, those API's are system dependent, basically, the way you make it in Linux is different to the way you do it in Windows, even if you are using plain C.





C# is a proprietary Microsoft language which gives access to the Microsoft .NET framework (basically a big API arranged by namespaces), all Networking API in Windows and Linux can be accessed using C++, all C functions can also be called by C++, only if you use Gnome GUI programming you will have to use C, but I am sure you can always link the libraries to C++.





Bottom line, learn basic C++, learn the basic algorithms as loops, if else, recursion, array and string manipulation, etc.


Once you master the basic algorithms, start learning learning the use of libraries or APIs.





If you understand the principles and logic of algorithms, you can apply the same logic to any language (C, C++, C#, Java, VB, etc), learning the syntax can be a few hours depending on how good and experienced you are.





The hardest part is learning the API, because you have to go through all the functions available and figure out what they do and how to use it, for example, Microsoft has the platform SDK for Windows Programming which is in C or C++, MFC is C++ Windows programming, COM is for Windows and its C++, VB has its own Windows API which are kind of similar to the Platform SDK and .NET, which shares it's namespace in all the .NET languages (C#, VB.NET, Managed C++ and J#)





If you want to take C#, you will still need to learn the logic and algorithms before using the Windows libraries to make GUIs, otherwise you will be a cookie cutter developer.





Go to microsoft.com and get the Visual Studio Express version, they are FREE and come with tutorials.
Reply:Just FYI, C# and C are nothing alike.
Reply:Learn C first. Some may argue "learn C# first, it's easier", but in reality C# is very similar to C++, which is based on C. If you want to be any kind of efficient programmer in C++ or C# you should learn C. Then learning C++ after that is a breeze, and then learn C#, which if you know C++ is really just a matter of slight syntax changes and learning all the .NET System namespace. Also, once you learn the .NET stuff, you give yourself a huge boost into other languages that use the .NET library, such as C++ in .NET, VB.NET, etc.

What should I learn after I master C++?

I'm a computer engineering student and I'm still trying to master the basics of C++. I just started learning about classes and memory management and arrays. In my book those are the last few topics. There are further topics on online tutorials and such and I plan to move on to Java next.





After I master C++ classes, what is next?





How do you learn how to make GUI in C++?





My other question though is what computer languages should a computer engineer or possible software engineer definatly learn? What are the most popular languages?








should I learn other languages like:





HTML,PHP,Javascript, Perl, Python, Visual Basic, ASP.net, XML, SQL?





Should a computer engineer know all these?

What should I learn after I master C++?
Well, if you manage to learn C++ properly, you should learn the most useful libraries for it, as C++ is probably the most powerful language available. (Well maybe C is better for drivers..meh).


Here is a list:





Win32 API -Allows you to make GUI using C++ on Windows,


lets you handle processes, threads, user input, make video game cheats..loads of stuff


Winsock - Lets you make networked programs


Direct3D - Lets you make 3D programs.


Fmod - Sound library used by many professional game designers





Various other useful ones like zlib, libpng, etc..





Of course, this depends on what you want to do with your programming. I also suggest you learn Perl, as it's a good language with which to quickly develop small utilities and text handling / administration programs. If you get into web design, you should learn Flash, Javascript, SQL, and PHP.





I advice against learning Java unless you must, since it sucks. (C++ is wayy better, although not as portable.) A computer engineer should know C,MIPS, and x86 assembly. These are relatively low level and are what engineers often have to deal with. (The ones you listed are high level and are used mainly for Web development.) The most popular languages are C/C++, C#, and Java.





C# is also good for rapid development, but the user must have .net framework installed...so that might reduce the portability of your programs. I would suggest you learn C# instead of Java because it's portable on all machines with .net installed (Like java needs the Java virtual machine installed) but is much faster and simpler, but just as powerful. Good luck.





Note: Idk where you plan on learning your programming, but I'd like to let you know I have learned all of these except PHP and SQL through the sole use of Google.
Reply:I've been doing Software Engineering for twenty plus years. Here's what I think:


C++ may be the most complex language you'll learn. You will need to learn a lot of the supporting libraries as mentioned by OOP's. PERL, Python and PHP are scripting languages and you can learn them as you need them. I think Java is important to learn, it is a delightful and useful language. The syntax is similar to C++.


The web based languages (HTML, Javascript) are worth learning if you plan to do a lot of internet stuff.


XML is useful and easy. In many situations.


I have to say that once you have C++ under your belt other languages come pretty easy. They all have loops conditions and variables, many support object oriented programming. I have never learned PERL, Python or PHP to any degree, but can figure out how to use them when there is a particular need. I've used all three at one time or another.


Visual Basic is just a shell, so to speak, over the DotNet CLR. So, it is no more useful than Java#, C# or managed C++. And since you will know C++, C# and managed C++ are a matter of learning their DotNet quirks.


Mostly, as a software engineer, you will come to a job and have to learn the application and particular libraries the employer is interested in. So you may have to learn a new language on the fly. But you should understand basic data structures and algorithms. Also math through linear algebra is important. And most importantly, as a software engineer, you need to understand how to solve problems. Then languages are just tools to solve them.


Can I learn C++ in 5 days? and how?

i don't really know C programing, just the very basic. then can i learn C++?i have to learn it in 5 days by myself. so if you know any online tutorials or something what really can help me in this 5 days, please help!:) thanks.

Can I learn C++ in 5 days? and how?
Most of all modern/mildly modern progrmaming/scripting languages are about the same. Their syntax is just different.





If you have a good grasp on programming concepts and theoretical programming then 1, I'd like to applaud for your hard work and effort. And 2, say that since you know pascal then C++ should be pretty easy to learn.





The quickest way that I know is this site:

Reply:you can lean it if you work day and night all the time with a good book or site. but even then you will know the bascis...to become a good programmer or at least a decent one you must go over all kinda problems and try to solve it yourself without guidance or books etc...and this needs time...so i suggest you a good site or bying a book and start studying

To practice swimming, you shouldn't jump right away into the ocean, pal! Try practice in small pools first.





Your first problem is your "view". It is like you know what a riffle is good for, and you know the concept of firing a gun, but in practice, it looks like a normal stick or baton to you.





First try to write short pieces of programs. Oblige yourself to forget the conventional way of programming, and try hard to find the classes and objects related to your short problem. Do it over and over until you feel you cannot do without them. Then the great ideas would come to you by themselves!





Good luck

A question about c++ and opengl?

I have learned c++ basics but i think i need to know what is a buffer so:


1.I need someone to explain to me what a buffer is and when we use it.


2.I want to start using opengl but i know nothing about it..... I use visual studio 2005 .... Is there anything i need to download before i start using opengl through visual studio?.... I need to


know how to open a new project and how to add the the libraries i need....


Is it a an advanced level to start making programs that have simple graphics... you know, like using buttons instead of writing commands and so on?


After you help me with the previous things, can you recommend a good tutorial to help me understand opengl... if not, is there a book instead of a tutorial?





NOTE: I use visual studio not visual basic.... Online tutorials helps you create opengl projects in visual basic!!


THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

A question about c++ and opengl?
This looks like a good step-by-step tutorial for using OpenGL with visual studio 2005. http://www.cse.msu.edu/~cse872/tutorial1...





A "buffer" is a reserved segment of memory. For example, simply declaring a C++ array allocates a buffer. There are also different types of buffer classes that do different things. Some applications have sophisticated ways of using buffers to optimize performance. You'll need to be more specific in the type of information you're seeking about buffer.

Where do you Enter C++ commands on a PC With Windows Vista?
The code needs to be written in plain text. Notepad is the most basic editor that comes with Windows, but I highly recommend you do *NOT* use Notepad. Either use an IDE, which is a development environment that provides such an editor, or a dedicated plain text editor. Look up plain text editor in Wikipedia for a big list. Notepad++, Cream for Vim, and PsPad have all been good free choices for me in the past. There's more really good choices though (like EditPad, UltraEdit, etc.).





You also need a compiler. The compiler converts your code into actual executables for the computer. See http://www.google.com/search? q=visual+c%2B%2B+express





Edit, I should note that there are more compilers for Windows. Visual C++ is one of them. Another well known compiler is gcc. The windows version is MingW.

How do you link the Directx SDK library to the Dev-C++ compiler?

How do you link the Directx SDK library to the Dev-C++ compiler, and is the Directx library compatiple with all directx tutorials on the net?

How do you link the Directx SDK library to the Dev-C++ compiler?
I don't use Dev-C++, but according to a tutorial, click on the tools menu and click "compiler options", then click the Directories tab. Add directories from the Microsoft Directx SDK to the correct items, such as the include files to the include item and library to the library item.

Beginner C++ Help?

Hi,I'm new to C++. And I mean literally new, as in I just started yesterday. I've read a few tutorials and learned somethings but I still know basically nothing. I'm making some simple programs to practice and the current one is a random number generator. Here is the code.





#include %26lt;iostream%26gt;





using namespace std;





int main()





{





int a,b,c,d,e,f;





string g,h="a";





loop:





a = (rand()%10);





b = (rand()%10);





c = (rand()%10);





d = (rand()%10);





e = (rand()%10);





f = (rand()%10);





cout%26lt;%26lt;"\n";





cout %26lt;%26lt; a;





cout %26lt;%26lt; b;





cout %26lt;%26lt; c;





cout %26lt;%26lt; d;





cout %26lt;%26lt; e;





cout %26lt;%26lt; f;





cout%26lt;%26lt;"\n";





cout%26lt;%26lt;"\n";





cout%26lt;%26lt;"To create a new random number, press a and then enter.";





getline (cin,g);





if (g==h){





goto loop;





}





cin.get();





}

Beginner C++ Help?
As Ahmad said, you need to seed the PRNG. srand with time as an argument works well. But I have a few things to say about your code.





The first is your variable names. Please choose more meaningful variable names. You realize they can be more than one letter long right?





Do not use goto and labels. They have their use, but no beginner and most intermediates will encounter such a situation. There are flow control constructs, like for loops, while loops, and do while loops. Use them. Your code could be rewritten to use a do-while loop and two for loops.





There’s something called an array. You should learn it as soon as possible.

How to dance easy hip hop moves or i want to learn how to c walk?

I want to learn how to c walk or any other cool hip hop moves , send me tutorials of links and very good specific ones and i mostly want to learn how to c walk and I've looked everywhere and if you know how can you tell me what moves you do first , second , third , fourth , like all that and specific on how to do it. Thanks a lot for reading this question and commenting :D

How to dance easy hip hop moves or i want to learn how to c walk?
the simplest way to learn how to cwalk is off tutorials off youtube. however, cwalking isnt about learning a ton of moves but its you making up your own. so most tutorials you find will teach you the basics with a few examples of variations and combos.





I suggest you start off with Kyren's tutorials on youtube. There is no specific order in learning how to cwalk, but most people learn the V, shuffle, and then heel toe.





also, feel free to join www.thecwalk.com, the biggest community for cwalking and where all the best walkers are.
Reply:the standard cwalk that we all talk about is 'clown walking' the dance, which was based off the crip's crip walk. Report It

Reply:Believe it or not but you can learn dance moves from Fit TV All Star Workout.
Reply:Do on search for some hip-hop dance classes in your area. We have a few of them around here and they are awesome.


Where can i learn c# and visual C#?

i am a begginer in programming and have no knowledge in programming languages .i have tried many tutorials online also microsofts official videos and tutorials but all of them seem to be for some one who already has learnt c++ or c


if you know a bettr way then answer this question if you answer this question just for points ill delete it

Where can i learn c# and visual C#?
If you are a beginner programmer, I would not recommend any of the C family languaes (C, C++, C#). They are a little too advanced for you. Try learning HTML and javascript first, or Visual Basic before going to C#; this way, you'll have some programming knowledge before you start on the more complex programming languages.
Reply:Go to MSDN and get a copy of Visual C# express


http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/expres...





Then go find a book, some of the Sam's "Teach yourself..." books are a good starting point.
Reply:MSDN at Microsoft.com has a lot of programming info on C# for all skill levels. The best place though would be to get a beginner's book for C#.

"Virtaul" C++ subroutines?

Can someone please explain what the heck "virtual" means when placed in front of a C++ subroutine definitions. I read an online tutorial, bust it just doesn't make sense!

"Virtaul" C++ subroutines?
It means that the declaration of that function is missing. It should be defined by the child objects.





For example if you have a class called geometricobject you can put a virtual function called ComputeArea() withouth writing any code to it. When you define some child classes like triangle or square you need to write specific functions CumputeArea that compute the area.





PS: I think it's called virtual.
Reply:This explanation misses the point that you can pass a child


class to any method expecting a "geometricobject", and the


child's version of "ComputeArea()" will be called. Without


virtual functions, the **parent's** method would be called.





This is what distinguishes virtual from non-virtual. Report It

Reply:There's an excellent description and illustration-by-example


in the wikipedia entry, so please take a look at ref #1.





I'd like to take a shot at a more informal description.





Consider that you define a class called "shape" with a


"print()" method. You might derive a class from it called


"triangle", which would *also* define a "print()" method.





If you declare a "shape" object and call its "print()"


method, you'll get the shape version of print. But what


if you have a pointer to a "triangle" object, and then


assign it to "pointer to shape"? If you call the "print()"


method from that new pointer, the compiler will presume


that it is a "shape". The issue is that at *compile*


time, the type of the object was determined by the type


of the pointer, and that determines the method which


is called.





A virtual function, however, is determined at *run* time.


If the compiler is calling a method from a pointer to


"shape", it knows that it *might* be a "shape", or it


might be a "triangle" (or "square" or "circle" or whatever).


Instead of directly calling the method for type "shape",


it calls through a pointer which is set at runtime when


the object is created.





The reason for this is that you'd like to create a


polymorphic data structure which could hold *any*


subtype of "shape", but have the right thing happen


when each method is called.





So my summary is that "regular" methods are called


based on a compile-time type determination, whereas


"virtual" methods are called based on a run-time


type determination (ie. through a run-time pointer).





Do look at the wikipedia reference.


Sockets in c language?

This is my school assignment and I am NOT asking for the code but I would really appreciate if you people can tell me where can i find good tutorials/lessons regarding the following.





I have to write "an Internet page grabber program in C programming language. so if I specify a URL at command line, my C program connects and downloads a web-page."





I have already done it in JAVA, but it seems like that socket programming is a pain in the neck in C. Please dont send me the exact code, because I want to learn, just tell me the links for tutorials.





Thank you.

I've the same problem with you when moving from Java socket to C socket. It's a bit of the pain, but check the below link, i think it's pretty good tutorial. And yes if you using Linux or Unix, man page is pretty helpful as well.

Can anyone recommend any DirectX tutorials that are really easy to follow?

I have a basic knowledge of C++, but I am getting sick of not even being able to draw a coloured line on the screen. Most of the DirectX tutorials I have found are really fast-paced and difficult to understand. I would prefer a tutorial that may take a long time to complete but is easy to follow.

Would anybody know of any good assembly tutorials?

Hi, my names is Eddie and i am currently in year 12. I have an interest for programming. So fare i'v been learning C++ and want to extend my knowledge. Would anybody know of any good assembly tutorials on the net. what assembler is compatiple with the X86 and is easy and free to use. If anybody has a softcopy they could email me, eg a ebook that would be great.

C++ software?

ok so i know basic c++ and now i wanna work up to building software. i wanna start building software that doesn't use the command prompt style interface.


and wen i say basic c++, i mean i completed a online tutorial with multiple programs that were a step above beginner

C++ software?
Alright, so, here's the issue. It's the new age of programming. GUI development should be done with a GUI. :)





Get the Visual Studio demo. It's worth the expense. Or, you could use something like SharpDevelop, which is great if you don't want to pay for VS, and you still want drag-and-drop GUI design. (But I don't know if it does C++ natively.) Take into consideration, even for Windows applications, the Apple Human Interface Guidelines for your design.
Reply:Visual C++ Express edition is Microsoft's IDE. It's pretty nice, and fairly well featured. The help is really good to. If you are looking to build Form (windows) based programs, it is worth looking into. Also, if your aim is building for PC's I'd take a look at C#, there are a lot of similarities in syntax, but C# is a whole lot easier to work in. There is also one called Dev Bloodshed C++, but it's primitive compared to MS's.
Reply:The most important thing is avoid the in record time/in 24 hours books. That was a big mistake on my part. They encourage you to not learn the code, rather cut and paste. If you are serious about learning it, take the painfully slow route. As far as compilers, Bloodshed's Dev-c++ has gotten me through several years of c++. However a few times, I had to resort to visual studio express 2008. Its not that bad. When i started on GUI code, we used MFCs. Those are much easier to use, but I have yet to find a way to support them.
Reply:I do that in C++ using the Win32 API. My most valuable resource for that was http://www.functionx.com/win32/Lesson01.... Dev C++ should already come with Windows.h , which should be enough. But if it isnt, you can get Visual Studio 2005 Express for free and download the Windows Platform SDK. (Just these up on google).
Reply:you can surely get help from an programmer. you have to only to do post your project here http://expert.asptutorials.info/ and many programmer help you for do this.


best of luck.
Reply:When it comes to developing applications with interfaces, might want to have a look at C#.NET. It is VERY EASY to use, and it's syntax is very similar to C++.

How I can format my p.c .Please somebody give me a tutorial for a less experience computer user like me?

Formatting is no joke...........high chance of you screwing up. If u still wanna format then back up all the imp data on your comp. Make sure you have the following :


1)BOOTABLE Windows CD


2)All the drivers reqd for your comp


3)Set-up of all the softwares that u require.





If your hard disk is partioned and u wanna format the partion in which your OS is NOT installed then simply open My computer and right clik on the partion u wanna format and clik on "Format". Select QUICK FORMAT and press start.





If you wanna format the entire Hard disk or the partion in which the OS is installed the do the following:


1)Restart your comp and while it restarts keep pressing "DEL" to enter the BIOS setup of your comp. The button is generally "DEL" but it may differ for some PCs.


2)In the BIOS setup goto the "Boot" tab and change the Boot Priority. Give CD-ROM the highest priority. Save and exit.


3)Insert the BOOTABLE Windows CD in your CD-ROM and restart the comp.........hit any key when prompted.


4)The remaining instructions will be shown on the screen.


5)Once you are done restore your boot priority to hard disk again.

this u got to learn the hard way if u never seen it done before or done it ur going to have a problem i would not recommend u to do it urself u might mess it up more like 90 percent chance that u will mess it up id recommend u invite a friend that know that stuff
Reply:you need to put your windows disk in your computer and when it start up you will see boot from win hit any key hit the key and let it run and follow the set by set to format it
