Python is quite different from C++
|
I am just curious about something, and I didn't find any specialized forums for python.
In the interactive shell, I did something like this:
>>> hello = input()
[i]hello[i]
>>> hello
'hello'
>>> input = input()

C++: Passing Arrays into Functions

Hello everyone,
I am taking a Computer Science class where I'm learning a little bit (hardly any) C++, and one of our projects was to make a function to sort an array. The teacher gave us the definition for the function which was:

Learning from books

Hello,
I've been around here a little bit (you probably don't know me actually) and I've asked a couple questions about books, mainly because I don't want to waste my time reading a book that will teach my bad programming techniques, or anything l... |

Enumeration vs #define
|
So as I was reading C++ Primer as I always do these days...
I ran across the enumerated type, and I've also known of #define for a while. I want to ask, what is the difference between the two? You can't change either as they are both constant as... |

less than opposed to not equal in for loops
|
Hi, I had a question about how a for-loop should be set up. In C++ Primer, the author seems to use != instead of < in all the for-loops, but my question is, why?
What if you set up a for loop as such:
for (int i = 0; i != 11; i += 2)
then yo... |

Hello,
Me and my friend were discussing stupid things you could do to just make your code work (hard-coding values to fix certain challenging bugs) and I thought I had read something on the subject before, and a lot of professionals even do t... |

Windows vs. Ubuntu

Hello,
I've really started kicking off the ground to try to get into game design lately, I've pushed myself to practice C++ a lot more but I had a friend (who is a linux lover) tell me that I would produce much better games if I studied and used O... |

Screen Size ratios
|
So I know this is a fairly odd question, but where did we come up with the screen ratios? 16:10 should be like 8:5 or something right? and 16:9 could be 4:3? |

3D Math Books
|
Hi, I've started learning DirectX, and I'm feeling my 3D math skills aren't up to speed (as in I don't understand a word of the first three chapters of Frank D. Luna's DirectX 10 book)
I noticed he cites a couple of books that are recommended to r... |

DirectX w/ Windows API
|
Hello everyone,
So I've actually tried to get into DirectX lately (I've mostly used crap like XNAGS or DarkGDK or some other high-level library) and I was told that DirectX uses a lot of the Windows API. Does this mean that along with C++, I need... |

Python is quite different from C++

A couple other things have bogged me down like the fact that whitespace is significant, and code readability is sometimes a little hard because of the lack of symbols like { and } or ;. I suppose python is really a beginner's language..
Somehow, I... |

Question about book Beggining C++ game programming

I would strongly recommend you at least finish the whole set of tutorials or something, and build on your knowledge of C++ from there. If you feel confident in your C++ abilities maybe then would be the best time to move on.
As far as 3... |

I need 2 know about game programming

To learn C#, I read the book "Head First C#" and it made everything pretty plain and simple for me. After that I just followed online tutorials at XNA's website to learn XNA.

Opinions on/experience with Full Sail?

Well in my person opinion, it would be better to have a computer science degree instead of something specific to game programming/design/etc. I'm going specifically for a game programming job, but if I miss that mark, I'll still hit the target and h... |

Freeware compilers & code editors
|
With that DreamSpark thing, it's pretty easy to get the pro version of Visual Studio as well. I haven't found anything in pro that isn't in express that has been particularly useful to me though. |

Which College Should I Go?

I would listen to Kalnos. If you look at any game programmer job openings, they usually want a degree in computer science or equivalent, so some degree in game programming would probably work, but you are better off with just computer science. O... |

If you want to learn C++, it's going to take some patience. C++ isn't exactly something you can pick up overnight and start programming games with. If you just want to program a game soon, you'd best stick to something like Python, or Microsoft XNA... |
