Hey, i'm making the game with Thomas. I'm having trouble with installing SDL, does anyone know of any videos or advice? I'm using Code::Blocks

The first post I wrote in this thread links to a tutorial that gives detailed instructions in how to install SDL with Code::Blocks specifically.

Here's the direct link to it - I suggest following the entire tutorial as you go, because it was very helpful to me when I was learning SDL.

Alright I have SDL installed. But do you know where I can find some video tutorials that aren't outdated for SDL?

SDL, unless you are using the pre-release version 1.3 or 2.0, hasn't been updated for a number of years. The tutorials I linked to are perfectly up to date, and most tutorials you will find (even if five years old) are up to date, since SDL hasn't changed much. Once version 1.3 or 2.0 are officially released, then the tutorials will be out of date.

I wouldn't worry about 1.3/2.0, because SDL 1.2 is very stable and very usable, and trying to download from a remote repository and recompile the libraries yourself is not something I'd recommend a beginner doing.

As for video tutorials, I can't be of much help there.

Howdy all, I wrote the FixByProximity tutorials very basic so that people could follow along and learn while watching. It is certainly easier to know a bit before starting, however following along and looking things up has worked for a lot of viewers so far.

I would say to just start. If you keep waiting to "know more" then you will never begin. Instead, go as far as you are comfortable. Then go just a little farther. Then study until you are comfortable again. At that point start back up.

Anyway, your mileage may vary.

Hey, I suggest you to use C#+xna it is very easy to learn that, and c# is much easier language that c++ but it have some - - -.

Signs seem to point to XNA going away. This is purely speculation at this point, but the XNA team at Microsoft was desolved (I believe).
