Recently I've started looking over some of the source code needed for my Game Development class, and it's been pretty daunting. I have never learned C++ programming, and the recent switch over from Java doesn't make it much easier. Java is a great language to write in. It's much more user-friendly than C++, and provides adequate feedback. C++ tells you that an error exists, and expects you to find what's wrong with the program through a hundred classes with over thousands of lines of code.
Although if you understand one programming language, learning others become relatively easier to learn since they are all derived from C, there are still substantial differences in the syntax between C++ and Java. I still get confused sometimes when I'm writing code in C++, and need a lot of help from my friend Google.
Hopefully I can power through my CSE 380 class without too much trouble. This weekend has been a pain to get through with all my homework due tomorrow. Reading through all this code and recompiling my program to check for bugs is giving me an awful headache. I'm praying that my roommate will come back with coffee for me sometime soon.
