Simple c++ game, where do I start?
i am currently a first year student in a university, also taking up computer course.during our first term our teacher asked us to program a simple text based blackjack game, this practiced our simple math executions, some decisions, use of cases and array etc.
Reply:Maybe for a start, you could go read up on example of other C ++ source code. This website got a lot of C++ program example, www.planet-source-code.com, you can go take a look.
Reply:I would suggest Start Learning from Graphics and then slowly move to games.


see the Example Code here.

Reply:Spend some time thinking of a basic game you can do in a console. Examples: a hangman game, a blackjack game (all in text), a simulation/text rpg game, etc.





As for actually programming the game, well it's no different from other programs you have been writing, right?
