A couple of days ago I went out and bought some c++ books, and i'm gonna try and teach myself how to code. So Good news is, I'm pretty good when it comes to learning shit like this, BAD news is that all the math mumbo-jumbo, im not so good at. I've always been horrible with numbers. SO.. I was wondering if anyone around here, like static or some other good C coders had any points of advice or could offer any insight to all this. Thanks guys

Remember, the program does both basic and advanced math functions, all you gotta know is what numbers you want it to use and what you want it to do!!! |

|  | Member | | | | | Well it depends on what you want to code, some applications you can create with a simple + or -. Moving a image on the screen is simple x or y + or - amount, if you want to get into more complicated stuff like 3d or freq. of audio then your gonna need to know more of your algebra and geometry. You dont get into the crazy rocket sience math unless your trying to discover the meaning of life or something out there (good luck on a 333mhz lol)

Points: 41.54 Donate | | | Thats exactly true. If you want to do 2d applications though, Its not always best to leap into something like C++. Things lke lua support prety powerful 2d (and 3d) applications and games, and there are fantastic tutorials that will teach you the foundations of coding, which aply to any language.
If you want to create 3d applications, there are books specifically for that. |
