Well, I saw You must login or register to view this content.'s You must login or register to view this content. and I liked what he had made so I recreated it but in C++.

Awesome, but post the source. I'm in the middle of learning C++ right now and I am learning the different versions of C++ (original and Microsoft) so it helps.

I use original C++ not Microsoft's lol. I just use their IDE for developing (dll/consoles) and C# for WinFormApps.
Visual C++ 2010 - C++
Visual Studio 2010 - C#

Yea, and thank you. Source code is always nice; I'm a few chapters into my C++ book but I need to re-read it again since I haven't touched it in about a month.

No problem, I'm a bit sketchy on posting/giving out my sources. This isn't big enough for me to not release, although if it was something big I wouldn't release the source haha. Why read the book? I learned C++ from google lol.

Because the book is the proper way to learn C++ and Visual C++. Your source code contains messy coding, especially things like std::cout. You are using things such as equality in reference to type rather than value.

Little things like that. Although the way you did it works, it isn't proper programming in the sense of design. A book will teach you properly if it is good and it will teach you the proper way to program.

I have a book for Visual C++ 2010 (also the most current version of C++ up to 2010). Once I finish this book, then I'm moving over to Visual C++ 2012 where I will get the newer version of his book and learn even more, especially for programming with the new Metro design.

Google is good for referencing, not for learning how to program.

This is one reason why I don't like releasing sources. People always judge how something is done. I did this very quick and I wasn't worried about how the code was.

But if you learned how to write in C++ properly, even when learning; your code when written quickly would be much different. You show signs of someone who learns from referencing and it appears in your work. Even when you cracked down and fixed it up, it will still show.

There are some books out there, they are about 1,000 pages but you can go through a chapter in 2-3 days; they will help you out a ton. You can easily get the PDF free or buy the book for 35$. I ended up with 2 of the same copy in paperback for that price lol. Shipping errors rule.

Honestly, I know how to write code. I just don't have the time to know the entire language, I'm a firefighter so I'm constantly busy haha.

Oh, nice to know. ^_^

If you don't know the language you don't know how to write the code for that language. Although languages follow a similar structure, one way may not be the same for the other.

I'm working on becoming a cop, getting my AS degree in Criminal Justice this Spring. Going to get a BS degree. Programming is just a hobby of mine.
