I'm trying to get started learning the C/C++ programming language, but I don't know where to start. Could someone point me to some tutorials or such to help me get started?

There's two pages of tutorials at various levels of C++ right here at DIC. However, for beginners, I would most definitely recommend this tutorial:

Google can really be your best friend in this case. Also, as Polymath has stated above, there are an ample supply of very highly rated tutorials here so make sure to check them out!

Ok, I am not normally in this forum, but if you look long the top of any of the pages for this site, you will find that there is a button for tutorials. Trust me there are a ton of them there.

CPlusPlus.com has everything you would need explained in a manner everyone could understand. And it works really well as a reference, too.

Alright, so I got myself started making little mini applications with Microsoft Visual C++. I developed a little mini console application and I want to know; how do I compile it into a stand-alone executable file?

It's already compiled when you run it.

Open up your project folder, and look for a bin/ directory smile.gif

ah, I found it. thanks.

Next question:

I see that most, if not all, games use outside files, like .ini, or .xml files, to store data, like object parameters, ai scripts, etc. how do i incorporate that same mechanic into my source code?

OK, you've just started programming, you may want to get a good understanding of a few of the basics first.

But, who am I to judge? wink2.gif

Try this out:
fstream

It's used for file I/O...

But like I said, I highly recommend that you learn some of the more basic stuff first. File I/O isn't extremely difficult, but it's certainly not the first thing that anyone does.
