Please help. I have had this amazing idea for an 8-bit, side scrolling, survival game, but i have know idea what to do and all the tutorials confuse me...
I basically know how to do the "Hello, World" beginner program and that is it.
<<PLEASE HELP>>
Sorry Alvaro.
Yep, C++ is what I am trying to learn, I suck at it, and I SHALL learn and be a pro at it. I have many other hobbies, but I suck the most at this one.
I have just tried to do the basics, and I am okay at javascript.
I'm a bit confused here. Do you want to make a game or to learn C++? Because you're hardly gonna make your dream game while learning a language from the basis.
If the former, as you have stated that you have some skill with javascript, why don't you make your game with javascript? An 8-bit side scrolling game doesn't sound so resource intensive that needs to be coded in C++ to achieve good performance anyways, and it's easier to distribute it to your friends so they can give you feedback.
If the later, I think you should put your game aside for a while and focus on learning the language. There are lots of books for beginners, and I'm sure you can find a fair amount of decent tutorials for beginners in C++ online (just guessing, but if the tutorials confuse you, perhaps you've been looking tutorials too advanced for your current level?).
