Here are some nice basic C++ tutorials.

and like everyone else has been saying go with SDL to deal with graphics, input, sound and etc.

Two months is enough time just make sure you work hard.


In Topic: System to create redeem codes

1) pick a serverside scripting language
2) pick a database server
3) generate a bunch of random strings.
4) store the random strings in the database.
5) create a website with a form.
6) write a serverside script that checks if whatever the user entered into the form is in the database.
7) mark the code as used, give the user whatever it is the user should get.
8) profit ?

no no no 

 

8)???

9) profit

 

but really... I do agree with him that is the way to do it.


In Topic: Best Engine for 2D Games

It uses it's own scripting language called gml or you can use the higher level drag and drop functions. It is adding elements and setting parameters opposed to actual coding your game(you can add your own libraries for additional functionality) the engine is cross platform and can run projects on iPhone and android(for $100 I think for each platform) and also game maker is very flexible.

As far as your experience goes, if you don't want to spend a long time familiarizing yourself with a programming language then use an existing engine - there are plenty out there. As Yourself said, Unity is a good way to go (and it can easily import models from Blender).


Exactly what I would say. Get the free version of unity and use blender for making 3D assets! Plenty of tutorials on both pieces of software too which is nice.

You should try giving RPG maker or game maker a try. Personally I like using C++ with sfml and lua but when I first started out I did things with game maker. Game maker has a set of nice forums and lots of people will be always willing to help.
