Programming games?

I heard that to get a game prgramming job, u should know C AND C++...I decided that since I'm in 9th grade right now, i should make myself familiar with C first since C++ is more complicated, i guess i should start with C first...anyone know the best tutorials to learn C online? I tried many such as the ones on cprogramming.com.........

Whether you start with C or C++, you'll need your own compiler so you can experiment with programming by yourself.





Other options to consider are going the library or bookshop and finding a book, or learning another programming language like Javascript first where you can test with your web browser (you don't need a compiler).





Try some of the links below to see if any of them suit you. Otherwise try a google or yahoo search with terms like





learn C online





or





C online course





or stuff like that.





Anyway, hope this helps.
Reply:Sign up for a programming course at school. Most high school's will have at least a course pre-AP Computer Science. It's very helpful to have a teacher that corrects your programs. good luck!
Reply:C and C++ are very similar, and so you don't have to learn C yet. C++ is not much more complicated. But if you don't know how to program yet, you might want to try programing in Python, before learning C++ because it is an easier and less complex language to learn. I actually started off by learning C++, then Java, C#, and Python, and I think Python is the easiest.





C++ Tutorial: http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/





Oh yeah, and don't use Notepad. (horrible for this purpose). Use something like Microsoft's Visual C++ or something else.





Python tutorial: http://docs.python.org/tut/


For this, just download python (just google it) and click on the IDLE under the start menu (if you are using windows)





Good Luck!





(Also, if you are looking into game developement, try Blender. Its open source (free with the source code), and you can make games, but this uses python. For more game engines, go to http://www.devmaster.net/engines/list.ph... A lot of them are free, but others cost thousands of dollars.)
