I've just finished my college semester, and as I have nearly a month of break, I thought I should do something half productive during this time. As I've been thinking about learning C++ for a little while now, why not do it while I have the time?
I've also been wanting to give a go to basic game development, just to understand how it works, etc. as I have next to no idea how it works. I've fucked around with .NET's Graphics class, but that's about it really.
So yeah, a couple person told me that when I get comfortable with C++, I should try out SDL for that. I guess my question is, do you guys think this is a good place to start? If not, what do you think I should try?
Current language I'm comfortable with:
C#
VB.NET (not the biggest fan really )
I'm alright with Java.
Thanks!
