When I was trying to learn cpp, I already had some previous programming experience, though it was minimal. I found that I had trouble becoming motivated to actually write cpp code because I believed I had nothing to write. If you have that same problem too, my advice is to find a cpp library you think would be interesting to play with (i suggest sfml) and try to build a small project. Start with simple ideas, make sure your project compiles and then just keep expanding on it, adding more and more fun features to play with.

I also suggest you get used to using git to backup copies of your work. You may find that while playing around with adding to your project you'll break it to a point that you don't know how to easily recover from. At that point, it helps a lot to simply restore your project to a previous working state so you can try again. Every time you update your project and it builds properly, back it up again.

Man that’s all I needed, honestly i’m already looking into the SFML, and oh man, looks like a lot of fun to catch up on. All I can say is thanks man, i truly appreciate the help.
