Ok, classes have begun again, and I have OOP with Java. And the first thing I’ve discovered about Java is that is sucks… Let see on my next episode if that changes xD Another thing… I’ve been killing myself learning C++ and OOP plus how to make SDL to work with it all summer to find out I’m going to continue using C… Now I’m confused!!! But I still have more knowledge than most of those on that class… I’ll rock !! I hope.

I bought two books. Learning C++ by Making Games and Focus on SDL, from Amazon.com and Amazon.fr respectively. Its curious that the one coming from the US got here first.. lol.. Anyhow, I received yesterday the book and have already read more than half of it. Most of the initial stuff I already knew, while other details where new to me. This is good, because later on chapter VIII it will show me how to use properly the SDL and OOP so i can pursue my journey in making games. right now, I am gaining more experience with C++ and OOP, which hopefully will help later on.
So far the book is great, really easy to read. I hope to get the Focus on SDL in two days tops. By that time I will already have finished this one and make a game, following the book. Hopefully I’ll learn something I didn’t knew on Chapter VIII

Another month has passed and another game made under 7 days was made by Petri Purho. Knock The Monster is this month’s game. Its prety good actually. You have to kill some monsters in order to get your girlfriend back. He uses the SDL, SDL mixer and Erin Catto’s Box2D physics engine.
Check out this post to read more about it and download it.
