Welcome to GameDev! :)

A great place to start is with the Beginner FAQ here:

Step 1 is learn how to program. I've been steering people towards Khan Academy since it's free and very good:

https://www.khanacademy.org/

It teaches JavaScript which is similar in syntax to C# and is a good stepping stone to get to Unity/C#.

How far along are you in your learning?

I went to khanacademy.org. they teach JC. I want to learn C#...

My bad. JScript. JS.

Isn't unity by subscription now? If it isn't I'd love to learn from you.

Hey You Out There?
Uh I'm Using The Indie Unity - I Hope It Didn't Go Subscription Or I'm Toast.

I'm By No Means The Best Out There - But If You Got The Time We Can Always Talk Code.

What Is Your Skill Level?
What Would Stump You I Mean? It's A Good Way To See Where You Are At.
Me I'm Stumped By Multiplayer Components - Networking And Uploading Games To The Internet.

sorry for my rather late response. Let's pretend I don't know how to use it AT ALL.

The topic title specifically said C++. Why does everyone jump to suggesting the Unity product? This product can't even use C++ for its scripting.

I would suggest keeping with C++ which will certainly better serve you in the long run as a proper programmer.

I also suggest using the SDL library to start with 2D games until you are ready for 3D, in which case Unreal Engine 4 is a more powerful engine than Unity and 100% free and has the source available.

Also Unity (even the free version) has a one time subscription / DRM sign in system (personally... sod that!).

Really? I see. I had unreal* for a bit but i had to make a complete program wipe on my computer. Is there any one here that could personally teach me how to use it? The you tube videos are helpful but I'd rather 1 on 1 instruction.

It teaches JavaScript which is similar in syntax to C# and is a good stepping stone to get to Unity/C#.

I went to khanacademy.org. they teach JS. I want to learn C#...

Yes, I know they teach JavaScript. I even said so in my post. :) Which programming language you learn is less important than learning to program in general. The ability to break down a problem into programming concepts is a foreign concept to most. Since Khan Academy is such a good site, and the syntax of JavaScript is similar to C#, I still recommend it.

Ah i see. Well right now I'm actually doing some C++ coding assignments. I'm 1/4 of the way in and it hasn't posed a great challenge so far.
