I am currently making a RPG game called Fallen Warrior made out of C++ (programming langauge). It is a simple game with only text (im not pro enough to make a engine). Where you put in 1, 2 or 3 etc to do commands.

Features :
  • Stats include : Strength, Endurance and Defence
  • Level ups with exp
  • Items to wear to increase Stats
  • Big story line
  • and much much more

Progress
180 lines (2% Complete)

Any comments and suggestions are welcome.
 
You can take a look at the ogre engine.

This is primarily a graphics engine however it has other plugins.

There is also

Both make good use of

If you are just starting to learn C++ text may be best. I don't know C++. Me and my friends are thinking of starting a game based on some of the software listed above. Once we learn C that is.

Both of those engines are open source so you can poke around the internals.
 
C++ (I've taken a fair amount of classes in the language) is incredibly aggravating when it comes to even simple graphics. Especially when using pointers and making it so it's not incredibly slow. I liked Java better when making games (I made a really simple maze game in java and a point and click game in C++). However, if you need an extra pair of eyes, feel free to post snippets of code that are giving you trouble, I'm sure there are plenty of people willing to help.
 
Agree with jdcskillet. I took two years of C++, then learned java for two years, then college wanted me to go back to C++... interesting twist.
I also prefer Java for games, but I do still remember C++, and if youre needin some help with a module or two, don't hesitate to put it up here!

A little late on here but I thought I would throw this out if you don't already know about it. If your looking to make a nice small game your best bet is to switch over to XNA and C#, unless your just making this game to learn C++ then stick with what your doing. XNA has many many classes added to the framework specifically for game design. It's worth a look.

Heres a small tutorial about making a 2D and 3D game with very little code and a few sprites. There is also a massive community as well.
