A Quick Tutorial in C++

For some of the lesser experienced C++ programmers on this project (myself included), I found a nice little C++ tutorial that can help out with syntax and such.

Here it is

If anyone wants to post other helpful tutorials, please go ahead!

I'll look into it when finals are over :P

Most random movie line ever

Spoiler:

I don't really have time to look at that right now but it occurred to me that before we start coding we should set some formatting standards so it is easier to share code around.

Agreed, Gilgamesh.

I've never used that tutorial, but that site has one of the best references for the C++ standard library around. That tutorial covers a lot of topics, so it might be helpful to find a short Java to C++ guide.

Alright, so as I see it we have two options for coding: C or C++. A lot of what I've seen is written in C++, but there is a fair amount of C programming out there with 2-D fighting games.

Also, Who has any nice IDE's they wanna share? I use eclipse, if anyone has any other ideas, let us know.

I mostly use Dev-C++. It can automatically download and install a lot of libraries, but it's pretty much compiler-specific, and it is Windows-only. You can find it here.

I also use Visual Studio 2005 from time to time.

About the language: any good graphics library for C will work with C++, so we don't really need to worry about that.
