colobot PC programming game.

No. If you're going to learn C++ then learn C++. If you're not capable of learning C++ then find something else to do with your time. :)
 
Atleast try the game and give it a chance before saying something as ignorant as that.:mad:

How do you know that it is not a good learning tool if you dont even bother to try it?:rolleyes:
 
It looks kinda cool -- much like a glorified version of that C-Robots game I used to love. That said, I can't recommend games like that as a way of learning a programming language. They're a fun way to use the language, and to become comfortable with the syntax. But, they rarely make use of the I/O functions and other logic that one would be likely to use in real life, and instead familiarize you with their own "robot" API. While working with an API is an important skill, it should not take the place of learning the language proper.

By using my extraordinary reading abilities and visual analysis techniques to take the time to look at the website, read reviews and read a colobot forum.

After partaking of such an exciting pass time, I concluded that no, it's not a good way to learn C++. If you're going to learn C++ then go and learn C++.

However, if you want to play game where you can fiddle with robots, sure, play colobots. Should have posted this in the games forum :)
 
The problem is that coding good AI is a problem generally beyond the reach of beginning programmers.
