Newcommer

Post by cK^ »

Hi, I've been interested in learning programming for various reasons a while now. And I came across this game, and am interested in helping out to develop it as I have a lot of free time, and this would be a good base for getting experience.

So I need to know: what do I need to know? :P

I have knowledge of php, html and css. The basics. :P Though not particularly useful here.

I don't really want 'learn this, cause it will make this easier to learn'. I just want to get down to it. I'm the sort of person who will just get stuck into it.

cK,

Learn c++ :) at least gain a little knowledge in it

Now since you want to try and skip that (though you should not), figure out something you want to do, look through the codebase find out where it is and tweek it.

Is C++ the main language used in the game?

I don't want to skip out learning the language, I just want to learn the one essential to this game.

Well, I'll get to work on learning that. Are there any places in the wiki that are useful?

EDIT: Obviously, not useful for learning C++ but useful for understanding the game.

Can anyone recommend any good sites for learning C++ or good books? That don't assume much prior knowledge.
