any good complete c++ programming tutorial

[AphexDreamer]

Every one thanks for your help very much. i truly appreciate it! i think i am going to just learn java from Bucky which has very simple way of explaining to program. there they have a beginner tutorial, a advanced tutorial and also tutorial about how to make games with java. as all of you said that unity is probably better i would use unity, and unity also supports coding in Java.
Again all of you thank you for your help for supporting me in my question!
here is a link to Bucky's beginner Java tutorial https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFE2CE09D83EE3E28

I'm glad you decided on a language to begin learning. C# and Java are very similar.
But I regret to inform you that you can't use Java in Unity.

You may be confusing Java with Javascript with UnityScript.

Neither of the 3 are a like except that javascript and unityscript are very similar. Unity calls their unityscript javascript, but in reality it isn't exactly javascript so its also referred to as Unityscript. Even though in all their documents they call it javascript. Hope this isn't too confusing its all rather silly if you ask me. http://wiki.unity3d.com/index.php?title=UnityScript_versus_JavaScript

In the end just get to learning the basics of OOP and it will translate over to other OOP capable languages one way or another. But bottom line is No Java in Unity.

Tutorial wise Brackey's and BurgZurgArcade are great! They both use Unity and C# and have tons of tutorials in both. From specfic things like making an inventory to full fledged making a game tutorials!

Here is a beginners guide to C# by Brackey's

and a Hack n Slash game by ZurgBurg but it is looong.

Brackey's also has game tutorials but his Surival Game tutorial uses Unityscript. He has a platformer tutorial that is shorter that uses C# if you want to give that a try.

hey i want to ask is that is C# better than and more powerful than C++? And is C# easier to learn then C++?
last thing is that, can you give other good c# tutorials because Brackey's one is only 6 videos and it looks unfinished!

can someone also help me in forum http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/need-help-to-build-my-pc.207978/

No language is really more "powerful" than another. I'm pretty anything you can do in one language you can do in another. I think it comes down to which language makes it easier to complete the task. I could be mistaken .

I'd say on the level you are on either language will be equally as hard as the other. Learning the basic like for loops, if loops, classes, etc.. will be as hard on one language as it is in the other. But I'd say making a game in C++ is harder because of the tools that exist. There is no tool as intuitive as Unity for C++ as far as I know and if there is one I'd like to know about it. Unreal 4 maybe... but I still found Unity a lot easier to use.

no my question is that is c# easier then c++ and as same powerful as that of c++?

 

[AphexDreamer]

no my question is that is c# easier then c++ and as same powerful as that of c++?

I'd first say that yes, C# is easier than C++, because of the amount of things that you'd have to worry about. Like automatic garbage collection vs manual memory management, lots of libraries and then C++ is harder yet I'd say more flexible rather than powerful because you can use Lambdas, have more control.

C++ is what they call a multi-paradigm.

Paradigms being things like functional programming, Object-Oriented Programming, procedural programming, etc..
If you want to know more I suggest looking into what a paradigm is in computer Science.
So C++ is multi as in multiple paradigms.

C# is just one paradigm, that is Object-Oriented programming paradigm. Where by the programmer can use Classes which can be treated as objects in other classes to call that objects methods which define their functionality and that is the only way you can do it in C# and java, OOP languages.

But I wouldn't worry so much about all that in your case.
You have to get down the basics which are pretty much the same in C++, C# and java and with unity and C# the basics will be enough to get you started, granted you also learn your way around unity.

no, what you can do in one language you cannot do in some others. For instance C++ has function overloading and operator overloading, you can't do those sorts of things in C. Among some other stuff like pass by reference and inheritance.

Yeah they are different no doubt in syntax, design, structure, etc.. but overall you can accomplish the same tasks, that is what I meant.

Also this was a comparison with C# and C++. I don't know much about C actually.

Ah okay, fair enough. I do agree with that statement.

hey AphexDreamer you did not give the tutorial for C# and C# gaming. I asked you about this because the Brackey's tutorial seems unfinished!

I'd just google it for you man. Whatever you can find that works, there are plenty. I personally went to school for this stuff so I have no other favorites other than what I used to learn unity.

one last time, so for gaming i learn c# and use unity. is unity really easy to use?

That would be a good start. It might seem overwhelming at first but once you go through a few tutorials and get into it with small projects learning the essentials tools and their hotkey's shouldn't be to stressful.

However, what I'd say is stressful is if your making a game by yourself is that you have more than just programming to worry about. Depending on the quality and type of the game you want to make, you'll have to learn animations, modeling 3D/2D, sound design, particle effects and of course programming at the very least.

Not to deter you, it is very possible to make a game on your own. Unity also helps in the art department because they have lots of free Unity Assets. They have an asset store where you can purchase or sometimes find free assets that you can import into your Unity Project aka game. Also the internet has lots of free art and sounds available you just have to dig for them. Importing can be as easy as dragging and dropping into unity or automatic when you download from their asset store.

So to close, unity is a full fledged game engine that gives you the essential tools that you would need to make game in a manner that is IMO least convoluted and even has a store to provide content.

every body thanks for your help. as Aphex Dreamer suggested I am going to learn C# and Unity and will try to make 2d games at first.
So for your help i want to thank everyone one last time!

I would learn the language first then trying to make a game. If you try to make a game as you're learning you're only going to get frustrated. What ever language you decide to go with, just remember that writing a game is an end, not the beginning. You need to know what you're doing before you can make any half decent software.

I'd also recommend http://unity3d.com/learn/live-training
Unity is definitely a great engine to start with but like Aquinus and others said. Your going to want to learn some C# before diving right into Unity. I would still recommend messing around in Unity while learning C# so you don't get discouraged. Check out the link I linked to help learn Unity and a little C#.
Like a few others have said I'd start with something like Python. for this I'd go to http://www.codecademy.com/ and do their Python course. This would help learn some basic stuff in programming in a very easy to read syntax.

That is pretty cool, didn't know they had that.

I've been dipping my toes in and out of programming and making games (a lot more then just programming) for the last year. I've also been to a few game jams and indie meet ups.
Once I saw a few of the posts mention Python to start. I decided to go do the course on Codecademy and that right there has to be probably the best advice I've heard. Since I've been going in and out of programming for the last year or so I'm still really fresh with it. Learning basic of Python on Codecademy helped a lot. It helped me to understand a lot of stuff I have already learned or didn't completely understand.

Something that has also been really fun but I'm not sure if I'd recommend it is playing with UE4 blueprint system. https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Engine/Blueprints/index.html
