- Alright, I am at a point where I want to learn how to make my own
- programs; I think. Please help me make up my mind.
-
- In the past i have had some time working with logo and BASIC. I enjoyed
- both, and I think that I am ready to move to C++, but I have a few
- questions I hope some of you can help me with. For one when I buy a copy
- of C++ it will come with an instruction book that will teach me at least
- the basics right?
-
- Does C++ use the same type of commands that BASIC does? By this I mean do
- I type actual words and phrases like "goto" + "if then" or do I have to
- type really strange stuff that only a computer understands?
-
- Do I have to be exceptionally good at math or like math a lot in order to
- enjoy programming?
-
- How long will it take me before I can make a simple game with an engine or
- edit sorce code?
-
- Thanks for any help you guys can give me. I will proboly come up with more
- questions later.
