Can someone guide me to a place where I can start to learn all the stuff needed to do some basic coding with DarkGDK?
I see all the tutorials in the folder but I just don't get the language? Should I first start to learn C++ and then work my way up? For example, I want to know what void means (Not the one that means null). I see all the time void (Something) (). It's confusing me. Also, is there a cheat sheet to DarkGDK? Thanks.

Hai There

There is the documentation which should be in the documentation folder in the start menu > TGC>DarkGDK.

And I would learn c++ before you start DarkGDK.

BTW - void FunctionName () is just a function that doesnt return anything.

I would suggest to learn C++ before using DarkGDK.

If you don't want to pay any money for it, head to http://www.cplusplus.com/, they have excellent resources and tutorials.

If you have about $20 on hand, get this book:
http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-C-Through-Game-Programming/dp/1598633600/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1258429460&sr=8-2

You will not be disappointed from it. The only tricky parts of the book is when they first explain references, pointers, class inheritance, and polymorphism. But once you've completed book, just reread it (without doing the activities), it will make 100% more sense to you.

Pay close attention to classes, they're wonderful and make programming much cleaner and easier. They are definitely the #1 reason to use DGDK over DBPro
