kvarnerexpress 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2005 I happened to run into a Website about game programming where an expert said the 1st game a newbie should code is tic-tac-toe.So I downloaded code to a simple version of that game in C++(which is the language I want to learn)from a site where this is legal.I suppose tic-tac-toe is a didactic game(as I read somewhere else).So ,I was wondering,are there any other(simple)games out there that can help me learn C++ and of which I can safely download the code without violating any laws?on a Linux Magazine I buy I found a dvd with all Gentoo source code but it is maybe too advanced for me,for the moment ,to study the kernel or programs like wine.Any help would be welcome.

switch 0 Report post Posted June 29, 2005 yeah ok.... gametutorials.com USED to have some great free tutorials. they are still great, but unfortunately they are no longer free. They are, however, a great starting point for c++/c and 3D/2D games programming. they still have some free tutorials, but if you want the great c++ stuff it'll cost roughly $20 US. well worth it though, it's awfully hard to find tutorials of that calibre these days. also flipcode.com has some good tutorials last time i checked they were 100% free.i know they're not games, but, all the same, they are a good way to learn good luck!
