Hi CodeGuru users!

I'm new to C++, well, everything code, I guess. But I've always wanted to make games, ever since I was little. I used to make storyboards for all my future games, I think I might still have 1 or 2 of them. Anyways, I started out with C++ because I wanted to make a game like Age of Empires or something along the lines of an economic strategy game. Once I started code I realized that was harder than it sounds. I'm currently working my way through the book "C++ Programming for the Absolute Beginner" by Dirk Henkemans and Mark Lee. I got to Chapter 9 in the book and then realized I must have missed something because nothing made sense. I tracked my mistake back to Chapter 5, Fighting With OOP. I'm using Dev-C++ and the authors are using CodeWarrior. I'm afraid I've made a mistake or the compiler in Dev-C++ can't compile correctly the code they've written. In conclusion, I NEED HELP! I'm looking for someone with more experience and knowledge than me that has Dev-C++, and has enough time to guide me down the process of becoming a programmer.
