Learning to use Microsoft Visual C++

[ahmd]

Thanks for the advice. Maybe a multi-choice text-based adventure would be a good start. Type '1' to hit the rat with the stick. Type '2' to flee like a little girl. Then later on, I could give it a proper background and maybe add a couple of pictures and a health bar.

What do you think?

Good idea. So maybe in a year or two it will grow into a Fallout series

Start small and grow as you go. That's the only way to do it. And you can ask people on this forum for a specific advice with C++ code if you get stumped.
