Irrlicht Engine

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

Ugh... Well, you can learn C++ from a book, or from an online tutorial. Look on cplusplus.com for a few good ones. And as to where can you make music for your game, ummmm, you can compose it yourself

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

thanks for the help with c++

ummm.. if you don't know any program for making music .... do you know any for midis?

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++.

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++.

i didn't really want to make music for irrlicht games, I've made alot of games with blender and wanted the music for them, anyway thanks for the help with c++, i think i have every thing i need now ba ba thanks

C++ without fear by Brian overland is a GREAT starter book

then move on to C++ for game programmers by Noel LLopis

and check online for tutorials and play around =)
