    Newest newbie ever

    im a newbie at c++ (just got a copy yesterday from my dad's work) and i need some tutorials. i have never used c or c++ before, though i have used visual basic and am pretty good at it. any tuorials or help would be welcome.

    But alas for their fate,
    Tho' they expect me to appear,
    They will never find me here.

    What's this about?

    i found some cool tuts, and i think im begining to get it, but how can i move controls around the form.
    ex: in vb i go "pic1.left=pic1.left-100"
    is there something similar in visual c++?

    yeah, i got the basics of func, structs, and classes down in that from some simple tut my dad had, but now i want to try some game programming.(since thats what im gonna do when im old and gray)

    The basics of structs, functions and classes are hardly enough to start windows programming (you need to know about pointers!) and a long way from game programming. (Where you wouldn't move controls anyway, this isn't VB).

    CornedBee is right, you will need ALOT more than func, structs, and classes to get to game programming. I think I have a tut that introduces game programming, if i find it i will post it. But i'm certain it's not easy. (never tried myself though). My recomendation for learning C++ is a book (might be pricy byt well worth it)...it's called..."Problem Solving, Abstraction, and Design Using C++"...in my opinion a very good startting point.
