Poseidon© Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 I'm trying to learn in C++, but I get bored the first few seconds I start to read. Motivation suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brushfire Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Just look at what you can create from it, and use knowing that you can create that from what you're learning. Wait, C++ can be used to code games, can't it? I think that's what EWR was created in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umbra Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 If you're reading from a book, use an online tutorial instead. From my experiences, that tends to keep you interested. I've tried C++, and while I only managed to do the most basic things, I found it a very boring language. (I suggest As2/3 instead.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scyire Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 I tried doing the same thing, but with ActionScript, and got so bored I fell asleep. Seriously, they need to make these type of things more interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenrisúlfr Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 If anything, I would suggest using Ruby, as it is a programming language with similar capabilities to C++, but much easier to learn.But if you're looking for motivation, just listen to Brushfire.

I learnt how to code Python, such as making blogs and forums (basic) for fun, which is a shame that when people hear 'Python' on here they think 'view booster'. And thanks, it's what I do whenever I create websites/themes (HTML/CSS/Photoshop, nothing special). I always look at some amazing sites that people have created and thing "man, I need to create something to that level". I have yet to do so, but it definitely motivates me to try.

-Berserker- Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Try creating an operating system with it. The money you can get is enough motivation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lol'ed, if you're just learning, thinking of making an OS is way out of your skill level. Also, you only get money if the operating system is good. @Brushfire: I actually brought up Ruby because I'm just starting to learn it. It's pretty interesting, I can't do much yet though.

Poseidon© Posted December 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 I'll take a look at Ruby, I tried it and it was pretty easy, but I'm still going to try to learn C++. Question though: Do you need a compiler for Ruby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JG. Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 OH YES, C++ WAS INVENTED BY A DANE! IN YOUR FACE! IT: I can't be bothered either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question though: Do you need a compiler for Ruby? Yeah, to program it, you have to download the source program. Just google it, you'll find it.
