Learning GUI

[sancharsharma]

Hi! I have just started learning C++ and we have been assigned a project of making the game 'bloxorz'. But we all are hardly acquainted with working with GUI. We dont have much time (1 week). So, please suggest some short tutorials on GUI which will be sufficient for this work.

Thankx in advance....

Firstly, if you have just started learn C++, you can't write some serious programs like games right now.
But about GUI. Do you mean game's GUI (like menu) or Windows GUI?

Well, we know all the ingredients for attaching structures, files and pointers. Would we need to know more?

I am talking about graphics similar to www.bloxorzgame.com, i dont know in which category would that come. We could adjust even with 2D graphics. No menus are required, its a pretty straightforward job.
An execution and the game starts.

Here's a tutorial, http://lazyfoo.net/SDL_tutorials/index.php

I think you can do it in a week, basically what I had it mind is to render it in 2d. But giving a 3d feel by using a 3d like image..

good luck!! :)
