C++ Tutorial (36) - Absolute n00b spoonfeed

[Misteryman94]

Why did he type "health-=1;"

isn't it easier just to type "health--;" ?

I'm a noob :P

[thesickbeat]

I dont find this spoonfeeding. C++ is a language you have to understand yourself, and not just leech, if you know what I mean. The name should stay Absolute n00b spoonfeed though, as it already has created a popularity on the youtube society.

The cool thing about these tutorials is that they take the time to explain something, and not just rush through and only use a single sentence for each piece of code. This is how all tutorials should be.

[cmarks712]

@thesickbeat ...what?

[thesickbeat]

@cmarks712 u jelly?

[cmarks712]

@thesickbeat you 5?

[thesickbeat]

@cmarks712 yes why

[phiser018]

i dare you to run it

[biljetten63]

How do I make my soldier increase his health and strength by 10%? I've tried with a few different solutions but none of them have worked. Internet didn't want to help, either.

[RREEJJEECCTTEEDD]

@biljetten63

if you mean by 10% of max health, it would be something like soldier1.health+=(soldier1.max­health/10)

and if you mean by 10% of current health... it would be like soldier1.health+=(soldier1.hea­lth/10)

[Nible94]

@RREEJJEECCTTEEDD Yeah, I figured it out, I felt kind of stupid when I did, haha...

Thanks anyway!

[peepzeekie09]

men.. if you are online ryt now... can u do dis one? ahmm numbers that will translate to words... for ex:

1 = one like this one... ^__^ plss..

[TheConi9]

Can you please re-upload this? i keep on getting "an error has occured" etc. and also on video 38, i don't want to miss anything, and please keep it up. YOU ARE THE BEST SPOON FEEDER EVER!! xD

[PS3Oilerfan83]

Aaaaaaaaaaaa.

[Zaillothen]

I'm slowly getting bored of c++, what should I do to keep interest?

[antiRTFM]

@Zaillothen take a break for a bit. play some games, mess around with Unity3D, eventually interest may return

[MasterCheifX117]

@Zaillothen Get a group of people that enjoy programming as much as you and start a few projects. You will stay entertained and gain a better knowledge of the language.

[PICLex]

@Zaillothen

learn direct x

[Nezmundo00]

I'm having trouble using Visual C++ 2008 Express when I define private attributes, they come back with an error that states they must be static and const. I wonder if I have some setting on that differs from yours?

[slier81]

One question though

Is there any default method in c++ will be run automatically when the instance of that class being created like __construct() in php ?

[scooped13]

C++ has constructors. Google has tons of resources on it if your looking to jump ahead.

[0121ryanh117]

@slier81 Constructors and destructors.

[HackedVision]

And, just for basic knowledge.

[HackedVision]

Do we need to have "Public:" and "Private:"?

I was wondering that because I might just make everything public for the sake of myself not really caring about being neat.

[fawaz1992]

You don't need to have "private:", by default everything in a class are private. Therefore you need to specify if public.

[9antreas9]

@HackedVision at this point you dont have to care about what is public and what is not. but if your programm is a mess of 100 cpp files, god knows how many fuctions and classes etc, then you will definetly appreciate knowing what can be messed around with and what cannot...

[sheepkilier]

@HackedVision

lol w8baby. xD

[HackedVision]

How duz you know diz!?

[paudeluttam]

BEST C++ RESOURCES EVER!!!!!

BRAVO antiRTFM

Keep it up!!! It is better than my college c++ classes!!

[HackedVision]

I agree, although, I am in grade 10. I plan on learning coding for the next two years.

I'm currently hacking, but I would rather make programs that I could sell in the future.

[babyaiko]

Legend :D

SPOOONED!

[glinka57]

aww the suspense.. haha.

I actually tried this and my compiler said only static const variables can be assigned to etc lol

[91chaz]

All your videos are 5/5! What does +=/-= mean?

[antiRTFM]

all jumbled up like that - not much :)

see the videos about operators

[91chaz]

I thought so :)

[Sadlez]

Why is it that we cant define the variables we create right in the class without the use of constructor?

[Sadlez]

Is it because i can't give any value to attributes i define in the class?

[Sadlez]

never mind it is because of that. i should really pick better books.

[juandude32]

iv had some questions, what is OpenGL????????????

[antiRTFM]

check google/wikipedia :)

[tigerspidey123]

OpenGl is An API for different high level language such as C++, inside the API, it has bunch of functions that does 3D graphics stuff, which allow you to create 3D graphic games:o

[jnbjabnk]

Why The Function you use:

john.heal ( 3 );

wouln't work? i mean the ( 3 ) storage thingy.

it will give a error:

no matching function for call to '(class name)::Talking(int)' =S

[antiRTFM]

make sure you've made the function a member of the class. review the videos about classes and make sure you follow exactly.

[jnbjabnk]

but how can u add graphics in c++?

[antiRTFM]

Actually, C++ does not have the notion of graphics at all!

Rather once you know C++ well enough you can make use of special libraries/APIs (such as windows GDI, openGL, windows Direct3D etc) to render graphics in your programs.

One day we'll probably reach that point in the video tutorials, i hope.

[jnbjabnk]

Uhmmm, do you know what you need to know untill you add OpenGL ?

ps Great Tutorials.

[antiRTFM]

nothing really pinpoint'able, lets just say "lots of C++" :)

[jnbjabnk]

Thanks =)

[rgrinie]

hope is all i have to live for now

[lambda30]

Nice !
