Hello, I have just finished my first Hello World program! It creates a window and displays "Hello World!" using cout!! I want to make a game now. I want something similar to everquest but with better graphics. I want to make it where the game looks like one of those movies you see when playing Final Fantasy X!! Can anyone show me where I can learn how to make this?

I think he just wants to see how many people flame him. It's a good thing I was pretty polite
Either that or just making a joke of the newbie attitude. ;-)

All you need to create a normal commercial game is to put this after your loading code:

  
if((rand() % 100) < 5) { // 5% chance


    int crash_method = rand()%3;
    if(crash_method == 0) { // freeze the computer

        asm {
            cli
            hlt
        };
    } else if(crash_method == 1) { // illegal operation

        asm {
            db 0xf00d
        };
    } else if(crash_method == 2) { // blue screen

        FILE *f = fopen("c:\\nul\\nul", "rb");
    }

}

Using "Hello World" as a first program is unoriginal and antiquated. I propose we change "Hello World" to "Hello Nurse!". Anyone with me?

Amen to that!! haha instead of having the text "Hello World!" have it be "(. ) ( .) Helloooo Nurse!"

I think you could really do a, well not a game maybe but a electronic book. You could call it "Teach Yourself the Complete History of Computers in 24 Minutes" ;P

No... that''s not fair, call it "Teach Yourself the Complete History of WINDOWS Computers in 24 Minutes" >;P
