Free C++ code for small games

[tech291083]

Hi,

I am learning ANSI C++ my own and would like to develop some small games using the language when I have acquired the necessary skills in future, but I was wondering if there is any site where I can download some free C++ code for small games and try to learn something from it. Is it possible? Thanks

There are many game development forums available online.

Hi,

Thanks guys a lot, I am just a bit confused as how to get the source code written only in Standard C++, not VC++ (if possible for samll games)from the net. I have got some sample code for C++ from sites such as Sams Publications. There are not many Standard C++ forumsas well where I can get the sample code to priactise. Any suggesions? The reason is I am learning C++ only at the moment and any other language might not be that easy for me to pick up. Thanks...

Well, you cannot use winapi in linux.
I suggest you to try GLUT, which is for making simple 3d stuff. Its C based and it's simplified OpenGL.

Its very easy to learn.
