My new site(C++ and allegro)
Author
Hey,
I have a new site up which is for c++ and allegro. It so far has 6 tutorials that teach you c++ and soon there will be more that teach you allegro. There is also a forum and a code section where you can submit code.
The address is www.mattsnet.tk
Cheers.

Nice layout to your site.. however as I myself have learnt how to program in C++ ( I used books over the internet ) I have looked at your tutorials and find myself thinking of when I first learnt the language. You introduce things far to fast, you don''t go into much detail over things.. example..
There are no " "''s please don''t use them. Why not? And Float, this is exactly the same as integers except you use them when you want a decimal fraction, so really they aren''t the same as integers. An Integer is a whole number. You don''t explain what a variable declaration is as such, just how you declare the different types. And booleans are extremly useful in all forms of programming to represent states, not just game programming. I am sorry if my comments seem overly critical, however as I myself once had to learn this I found myself asking questions now and I know I would be asking WHY? HOW? WHAT? if I were reading your tutorials. On the plus side, your site is well designed and clearly readable.

If things seem bad, think that they can get a whole load worse, and they don''t seem so bad anymore

Boolean: This variable''s stores 2 values 1 and 0 which is true and false respectively. This is extremely useful for game programming and is defined like so: bool mybool = true;Integer: This is the most commonly used variable in any programming language. There are 3 types of integers: short, long, integer. Each are declared as follows:int myint = 56; or int myint;Notice there are no " " ''s. Please dont use them!Float: This is exactly the same as intgers but they are used when you want a decimal fraction eg. 25.36575. It is declared like so:float myfloat = 56.6867; orfloat myfloat;Unsigned and Signed: If you want a positive value for your integer you will make it signed and a negative value will be unsigned for example:signed int myInt = -23; There are no " "''s please don''t use them. Why not? And Float, this is exactly the same as integers except you use them when you want a decimal fraction, so really they aren''t the same as integers. An Integer is a whole number.

Nice work on the tutorials, they're short and teach practical use. Unlike a lot of tutorials I have read before, where they'll spend 5 pages on a while loop telling about stuff that drives away noobies: Big O time and ASM output for example(which is very useful stuff to know, but not for someone who just wants to get a primer on the language. Better to save all that fun stuff for theory.)
One very very small concern is that, to tell them you're teaching them C++, at least use the standard, non-deprecated headers in your tutorials. Which could actually save a little confusion in the beginning, with them wondering "what the heck does .h mean?"
For example, in your loops tutorial, you have:
#include <iostream.h>
use:
#include <iostream>
aut viam inveniam aut faciam

hey,
thanks for the replys.
@ hammerstein_02: I think I will go over the tuts and add a bit more detail. There reason I only said for game programming is because the tutorials are going to lead up to game programming. They are essentially there for you to learn game programming. I am also making them as precise as possible.
@ Ronin Magus: Thanks for the comments, also thanks for that correction I will sure change it!
Thanks again,
Mofu

You might want to introduce the getline function somewhere:
#include <cstdlib>#include <iostream>#include <string>using namespace std;int main(){ cout << "Hello. What is your name?" << endl; string name; getline(cin, name); cout << "Welcome, " << name << "!" << endl; system("pause");} This topic is closed to new replies.
