Beginner C++ Game Programming DirectX Series Question

Post by Noah Muk » January 11th, 2019, 4:34 am

I'm an extreme beginner (13 y/o), and I'm going over the series for the first time. I successfully setup the poo game without any problems. I'm starting video 10 on Loops and it looks like a new project has been started when I start the video, but I don't know how to do this without having all my poo game stuff load. Is there a way to open a new project without deleting all my poo game code, or do I have to delete that and start over to begin learning loops? Please help a baby coder in need!!

You'll probably want the Poo game for later episodes, so you might want to just redownload or just unzip the framework to a new sub-folder and start fresh that way.

Yeah, no need to do all your work in the same solution. Just do a fresh one.

I got like, 60 or so solution folders on my machine right now ;)

Thanks for the help! I knew it would be something easy that I just wasn't getting. I love the series so far! You're hilarious and it makes learning this stuff fun!!
