were would i go to learn how to develope games/ because i was thinking about developing homebrew

get a visual c++ or visual basic book to get you started

what are those? should i just go to the book store and get ... for dumbys or what? thx guys, this forum is awesome

A foundation in English will definitely help.

Visual C++/Visual Basic are programming languages. These particular languages require a compiler. A compiler is what turns your code (written in an aforementioned language) into a usable program.

For example compiling the following code snippet with a C++ compiler will create a program that will display the text 'Hello World!' when run.



Hope this helps. I would recommend getting a 'for dummies' book to start off with, but only to get to grips with parsing code and basic programming etiquette. When you are familiar with the basics move onto something a little more comprehensive such as O'Reilly's series of books.

Good luck and have fun.

oreilly? you meen the news commentator? lol

I highly doubt that is the guy you want. But my improbabiliy drive may be out of wack.

Homebrew for which console?

C and C++ are a necessity to learn. C for older consoles, C++ for newer.

The hard part is finding the SDKs for some of the consoles you want to code for. But until you know how to program, that is the least of your worries.

pretty much every thing im gonna do DC when i get one but may try makeing a PC one, and yes i dont thats who i want
also what book should i start with?

try a starter book about object oriented programming
