Re: HOw tO StARt pRoGraMiNG ??

1 - First buy a C/C++ book and read it. Then try writing some small programs, and move to bigger programs if you succeed. You'll learn programming if you try hard.

2 - GCC plus Dev-C++ (if you are using MS platform) or Anjuta (if you are using GNU/Linux). Google it for downloads. I don't recommend MSVC because that tends to encourage warez :P

Even better: KDevelop :)

If you need lots of coding examples: www.koders.com

well I'm actually using KDevelop but I think it does not work well for single-file small C programs :P

You can start directly with C++. Actually C is the base of C++. If you know C you will need to learn very small to become a C++ coder. However you can start directly with C++. To create a bot for the HL engine it is better to know C++ but you can code the bot with a clean C as well but it will be maybe more messed.

EDIT: If you don't want to give a money for a book to learn C/C++ you can use the free internet tutorials. Here you are two links:
http://www.cplusplus.com/
http://www.cprogramming.com/

Re: HOw tO StARt pRoGraMiNG ??

I think C isn't base of C++. There are different languages.

Re: HOw tO StARt pRoGraMiNG ??

you can actually use Cygwin to run KDE.
http://www.cygwin.com
http://kde-cygwin.sf.net

however this is actually more difficult than a genuine GNU/Linux system and it's also _much_ slower.

also the Knoppix 4.0.2 version doesn't have KDevelop.

Re: HOw tO StARt pRoGraMiNG ??

Go a simple syntax highlighting editor (scite is my choice), and the command line! Though dev-c++ is nice, and for a windows user would be a good place to start. Another one that might be ok (haven't tried it personally) is code::blocks.

I'd recommend learning how to program/program OO before learning a language :)

Most "I want to make some kick-ass bots" dudes begin their bot-journey with botmans hpb-templates ( http://hpb-bot.bots-united.com/ )

The Hard Mission Guy
presents
A Crash Course on How to

Make a Bot in 10 Steps

1)Buy a Computer

-Intel and/or Compatibles(Recommended)
-Mac (Very bad)

2)Choose an Operating System
-Windows
-Linux
-Mac OS(only for mac idiots)

3)Choose a Programming Language
-C/C++(Excellent Choice):thumbup:
-Java(Too Slow and far Too isolated)
-Basic(Too easy)
-Pascal(Too primitive)

4)Choose a Compiler
-MSVC or higher
-GCC
-The I-donno-what-compiler

5)Go to www.google.com and type the keyword "C/C++ Tutorial"(Yahoo Does it Also!)

6)Make a "Hello World" program(a Very Very essential Step, DO NOT SKIP)

7)Learn how to deal with pointers, arrays and dynamic allocation without overflowing your RAM(Random Access Memory)

8()Choose your Game engine
-HL
-HL2
-Quake/2/3/4
-The Super Duper ass terminating First Person Shooter Game

9)Download the Hpb_bot template (Only for HL )

10)Find out what edict_t and pfnRunPlayerMove means.....

...................and please don't kill my Ass if your bot does only frag your Mind and/or your Computer........and of Course HAVE FUN DUDE!!

Re: HOw tO StARt pRoGraMiNG ??

Code:

10 rem my first program!

20 cls

30 print "hello world"

run

ah, memories... BBC BASIC

Code:

private sub cmdClickMe_click()

msgbox "hello world"

end sub

How we've moved on.

Can we get this forum extended to include BASIC and similar?
