DirectX SDK Example - HDR LIGHTS in Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition

This is an example that came on the SDK, written in C++. I love HDR effects, so I decided to upload this video. If you want the source code, just look in your SDK folder.

So, yeah! You can make professional games with this, and good graphics.

What is C++ exactly and what can you use it for? Could I use it in combination with Visual Basic or C#?

@Pvsmuntje Also, look for Computer programming.

This makes skyrim look like shit.

@xxmago Allot of the servers are written in C, which makes sense to me really since all C can do is procedural, there's no Object Orientated approach to C, like there is in C++.

I've done allot of work in C, think it's a good language, like to use it for what it really is if you like, rather than using C++ and coding in C if you like, just does not seem good to me.

Actually diverted to developing in Linux though, using OpenGL myself.

@Pvsmuntje Son, you still got a long way to go in the programming world... But, try to learn the basics first.

Isn't that a environmental map in the teapot?

[xxmago]

@Pvsmuntje You can do anything. Practically any software you have on your computer was written on C or C++. Also, look at this video. If you want to experiment with it, download Dev-C++ and look for tutorials.

[Pvsmuntje]

@xxmago Could you please give me a few examples of what you can do with it?

[xxmago]

@Pvsmuntje C++ is used exactly for the same purpose as you can use Visual Basic, or C#. It's a programming language, derivated from C, which has it's origins on the very old B language.

The difference between C++ and VB is that VB was made by Microsoft from the old language BASIC, used to teach people to program, while C++ is a standar programming language. Seriously, I can't give you enough information with 500 words. Look for it on the wikipedia.

[Pvsmuntje]

@xxmago I've been programming with Visual Basic for over 2 years, I just don't know what C++ is used for. I couldn't get any good explanation from Google.

@Pvsmuntje Also, look for "Computer programming".
