Oh come on.  At least try to make it believable.

* IndonesiaWarMinister facepalm.

Well, at least I only got to 'believe' for 10 minutes.

Or so.
Well...

[WorkerDrone]

You actually thought they were serious?

No. No you didn't.

I refuse to believe so.

[Servant Corps]

See, I thought I would at least be able to wander around for about 5 seconds before running out of O2.

Instead, I hit start, and bam, I run out of O2. Pretty upsetting. What's the point of releasing this game?

[PTTG??]

Wow, you guys suck. I am already on level 6 now.

I intend to add more features, but at the moment I have totally expended my C++ skills.
I should probably take a class.
I'm up to functions!

And just so nobody gets the wrong idea, Broose is making it up. Unless he entered a class like "Level 6 Broose", in which case... I guess he really did reach level 6.

Although spaces in names and classes cause some kind of problem...

[Sowelu]

I'm guessing it's just a console app that asks for name and class, then tells you that you died.  :D

Books are useful, but you should think about what libraries you want to use for graphics, and find a tutorial on those.  It's initially hard to get libraries set up right, and often tutorials are IDE-specific, expect lots of wallbanging while you do that.  But that's the first thing you'll want to do right now to be honest, IMO.

Move away from 'console game' ASAP.

Do you want a Windows game or a cross-platform one?
How graphics intensive do you want it?

[PTTG??]

I'm looking for as multiplatform as possible, but I'd settle for something WINE-ready.
Graphics are intended, and should be replaceable, too (i.e., having several graphics sets).

[Sowelu]

What IDE and compiler are you using?

I'd recommend SDL as your IO library.  (It's kinda the industry standard for this kind of work anyway.)

Getting it set up will be a pain, but utterly worth it.

[Tahin]

SDL is a good option. If you want something a little more advanced but more headachey then go for OpenGL, but SDL should be perfect for what you want to do.

Anything that is "WINE-ready" should really be compilable on multiple platforms. Actually, that's not entirely true, but if you're using cross-platform libraries, everything should work fine.

[PTTG??]

If you liked SPARTA before, you should probably get some kind of psychological attention because that was pretty horrible.

But hey, here's a new version with at least 5 times more new content than in an EA sequel!

For something with very slightly more sophistication, take a look a the LC planet database:

Remember, don't expect DF, or pong for that matter.

this is almost as good as:

10 PRINT "This is my new game"
20 GOTO 10

but not quite

Oh SNAP!

[PTTG??]

Two lines of BASIC?
Now, even I'm insulted.
It's much more like:

Code: [Select]

main()
{
     cout << "You Loose";
     return(0);
}

[Broose]

I think it would be funnier if it was as deep as SS13, but he just can't figure out how to get oxygen in the starting area.
