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.
