Getting the environment set up wasn't that difficult. I have had Perforce, Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate, and XNA installed on my machine because I'm working on a Capstone game for the Windows Phone 7.
The C++ program was a little confusing at first since I tried to just declare a char * and set it's value to a string of characters. I then instead created a char [] and initialized it with a string. Capitalization was just seeing what the int value of the character's were and subtracting them so that they were the indexes of the capital letters instead. Spacewar game went smoothly until I tried to play it (not knowing what the controls were). Then I found the readme.htm and everything was good.
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't intimidated by the class, but I hope to learn and get some really cool stuff that I can use for my future projects and possibly my job.
