Forums - General Discussion - How difficult is C++???

z64dan on 26 February 2008

It is like a foreign language. It is difficult if you don't know it. If you KNOW it, then you KNOW it.

Ya know?

Just keep practicing and making programs.

 i'd say coming up with proofs or great ideas like von Neumann would be "if you KNOW it, you KNOW it".

 programming?  it can be taught.

Thanks... P.S. How long would it take to make a simple FPS if you were a beginner??? I'm curious because making an FPS sounds the easiest from all genres...

It takes years for a team of programmers to make an FPS, and they also have teams of artists and sound guys and level designers to make all the content for their game.

The easiest type of game to make is probably going to be a sprite-based RPG à la the early Final Fantasies.

C++ is probably the hardest OOp language that there is out there, and C# is by no means similar, is way easier than C++, is more like Java, the cool thing about C++ is that if you work in a POSIX, you can pretty much do everything, windows is so restrictive.

looks like it's in some gaming development envinronment. you'd need to learn about how to use all their libraries and what-nots. which... if you already know how to program takes maybe a month or two to learn, i guess. if you don't know how to program yet, i don't know how much background you actually need before diving in. truth is, probably a lot.
