Re: Input how to

You mean inputs as in the messages received by the windows event handler? Like keyboard presses and mousey-clicks? Learn windows programming and see how the chili framework works.

Re: Want to learn Math and other subjects?

My school won't let me take APCALC there because I skipped precal over the summer, so I have to do it in a community college. However, I can take stats at school because the requirement is alg2... Can you justify taking calc college credits over stats? Just curious.

Re: The differences between Java and C++?

My big brother says that it just comes down to what language seems easier to you. If you had learned any oop language beforehand, then you would have been able to master C++ or Java quite easily afterwards as you need not worry about anything but syntax(and memory management for c++(but that isn't t...

Re: Is there a book to go with your videos?

Hey! During the time I was too busy with math camp to actually study programming, I found an interesting book that I feel is perfect for people who just finished learning a language. http://www.amazon.com/Tricks-Windows-Programming-Gurus-Edition/dp/0672323699 I feel that this book explains everythin...

Re: d3dx11math... DEPRECATED!!!

I finally get windows programming now! But I still have trouble finding an "up-to-date" Dx tutorial that I can grasp. I hope you jump into explaining the DXAPI ASAP.
