Beginning C++ Game Programming

I made a decision last week as I was juggling the “Ultimate Game Design: Building Game Worlds” vs “Beginning C++ Game Programming“. I realized that building a game world will certaintly become a necessary skill for me, but I need more hands on, at this time. The game design book is more theory, as I don’t know how to actually create a game yet.  So; I dropped… more put the book on hold… until I have some more game developing under my belt.  So; I’m back to focusing on one book. Whew! That was certainly an ambicious move, on my part. No worries though, I love this C++ book and I should have no problems finishing it.

Right now I’m on page 14, learning the basics of C++. It’s bringing back a lot of memories when I was at Broward Community College (central campus) taking my first C++ class. It was intoxicating. I really don’t need to go over the first chapter, but it never hurts doing a refeshers’ course.

Today, I stopped at page 16 with “Declaring Variable”. I have to hit the sack. I have to be in Atlanta by 8:00 AM tomorrow.
