Hello, Im programming in C++, and I wanted to know, what to do next and when. I've been programming in C++ for a little over a week, and have made several programs. Please give me some ingight on what I should do next, and when.
-- Thanx :D
To comment of what rip-off said, heres an example of 2 of my programs:
