Okay, does anyone know where i can learn C++ coding? because i really liked the irrlicht screen shots and want to try and make a game myself
and the other thing i wanted to know is where can i find a program that will let me make music for games i make?
~thanks
need help with two things
You can start learning it here: http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/
Beside that google and wikipedia also will deliver a lot of useful information.
C++ is not the easiest language to start with, so if you have no programming experience at all I would recommend to learn an easier language like Python first. But that's up to you - some people also do c++ as first language and do succeed.
The best way to learn working with Irrlicht is by looking, understanding and modifying the examples.
You can make music with any instrument you like and just record it for a start :-) I wrote some more about that topic in the last post here: http://www.irrgheist.com//phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=205

I strongly recommend you to learn C++ basics before playing around with Irrlicht.

I think something like Game Maker or modding tools (Source SDK, etc.) for other engines would be more suited for you if you are more interested in making a game than learning C++.Pedator Catcher wrote:Okay, does anyone know where i can learn C++ coding? because i really liked the irrlicht screen shots and want to try and make a game myself

Music is the last thing you put in the game. Since you don't know c++, you have a long road to haul before you need to worry about it. Like someone else said, it's a hard language to start out on because of pointers. Writing a game with python would be a good place to learn the fundamentals of programming. After that you could start on c++.ummm.. if you don't know any program for making music Cool .... do you know any for midis?
