C++

not much to report here guys as i have been out playing football.

on the non programming side of life. my dad bought 2 racing bikes for us and we have been going quite alot of miles on these glorious beasts. We brought a small device which tells us our mileage how fast we travel and how high our heart beats when we are cycling. And we clocked in at almost 40 miles an hour on one certain road. Its insane!

anyways this is me signing out

C++ continued

i have been continuing my studies into C++ and things are relatively easy. Everything is quite simple to understand and things are progressing nicely. I completed my text based game and I have been learning lots of other cool things for my game programming portfolio.

Right now i am trying to create a text based rpg which features many of the skills i have thus aquired since my dwelving into game programming.

This game will sadly not be up for sale as it is probably a wee bit on the boring side. And after all this was only an excersize for me to help me learn the programming language that is C++.

programming - my first entry

hello i am a newbie programmer and i am going to document my life as i gain more knowledge in the field of game development(covers everything)

Right now i have started to learn C++ using the book C++ primer plus which is really a great book and i would highly recommend it.

My goal is to start creating a portfolio good enough so that i can get into the game industry.

anyways right now i am making this blog in order to keep myself motivated and focused on this goal.

i also have my little nine year old brother thinking up cool stories and maps and monster names because i am hoping that it will bring us closer together.

anyways my current programming level is very basic. that off simple calculators in c++ and text games. but once my exams are finished in about 2 weeks then i will be able to spend alot more time focusing on getting my knowledge up to a suitable level.

Right now i am trying to focus more on the graphical side of game development. And i have downloaded the modeling softare blender 3d which looks quite complex at the onset but as i keep using it its becoming quite a bit easier. throughout the course of this blog i will be hopefully showing you some of the models i make.

This is me signing out from my first blog post. Hope you enjoy this and the many more installations to come :D
