Coding.

[Demonkil]

I'm not sure if this is in the right sub-forum but nevermind.

Well i'm wanting to learn programming but not sure where to start i have never done anything like this before so was wondering if anyone has any suggestions (i.e start with C or go straight to C++, also if there is any decent Tuts)
Also is there anything i need before trying to learn coding, thanks all replys are welcome.

before trying C++ (especially with a project as huge as OTS, which I still sometimes don't understand lol) I suggest reading some released Lua codes on the forum

do -not- copy and paste, read each line of the code and it's quite simple how the code works, or there's a pretty useful tutorial here that will guide you through the basic lua functions:

Good luck and if you get stuck feel free to PM me

id say.. go straight to c++
c# is just faglett

There are some good pdf where u can learn c++ in a month.. the basics atleast.

And dont bother with lua.. this is fake-lua.. tibia-lua >.<

@up
u r faglett -.- C# imo is great language!!!11!

Depends on what you want to code. Even though there's pretty much no limit to things you can do in C(++) and C#, some things can be done in "lesser" (scripting) languages, too.

Do you have a link to the PDF please, and thanks all for the comments. keep em coming

Anyone know what is the best compiler and linker to use for a starter

use Dev-cpp, because there's a pre-setup compiler all you have to do is open the project file in the TFS "dev-cpp" folder for the type you want to compile

I'm not working on OT's yet i'm starting to code, so for like hello world and random other programs i will be working on

still dev-cpp IMO, i like the interface's simplicity

Problem is when i learn C++ and try to code for tibia , i donno its functions.

 

[Zaxuhe]

well if you mean by coding tibia -> lua, its quite different from c++, if you want to modify the sources it will require some knowledge, not so basic.

 

[Doggynub]

Ye that is what i mean , and from where to get that knowlege sure you guys learned it from somewhere

 

[Zaxuhe]

well start slow, don't try to get into sources so fast, you could but you wouldn't know what you are really doing, start doing some simple programs on c++ like a calculator, cin and cout, cicles, enums, structs, classes and you will get into a point where when you look at the sources you will kinda know whats there and what to edit, and from there you will know what to do in no time

 

[Doggynub]

Ye but from where to learn/refrence to that

 -> lua

coding in sources

This is most likely the PDF that nevalopo was talking about in case you didn't find it yet. I have not read it myself and am therefore unable to tell you whether it is actually good or not.
