I'm stuck and I don't know what to do!

Question

Well I'm learning c++ for quite a while and I feel like I know the basics but now that I know the basics about that language what can I do with it ? I mean I know how to use vectors arrays etc. but now what? Does someone know or has experience with this ? What can I do now ? How to do it ? I have watched yt videos for more than 40+ hours about c++ and what to do with it but HOW? How can I create games and all these thing that can be made with c++ ? Do I have to learn something different than vectors pointers inheritance and polymorphism? I also would like the opinion of people who are professionals in other languages! Every reply is welcome and I would be very grateful if you commented your opinion!!!

Have a nice year everyone!!!

Answer 1

Videos and tutorials help up to a point but you need to work on professional or personal projects after that.

Answer 2

Martin Taylor thank you very much!!! I'll search into it furthermore.

Answer 3

Check this person's channel if you want to know what can you do with C++.

https://youtube.com/c/javidx9

Expecially his "code it yourself" series where prime language that he use is C++.

Answer 4

Arsenic I knew about his channel but not about his series thank you!!!

Answer 5

Learn C++ APIs for different things such as GUI (Qt, Win32 API...), Graphics (DirectX, OpenGL...) or learn to use C++ game engine like Unreal, CryEngine etc. You cannot make game or gui application with just basic console. I recommend you to start with Qt because it is much easier than WINAPI and it's cross-platform.

DEEPAK hello again!! Well I downloaded qt creator watched a few videos and then tried to create a project . As I was creating a project I got into the kit section and then even though I have some options it doesn't let me select it and says : No suitable kits found. What to do now? I explored a bit on the options and still didn't find it! I then watched some videos on how to solve this problem and they had an older version and someone had downloaded some files idk what files so I'm still searching now . Do you know what the problem is and how to solve it? You seem to have experience with this that's why I'm asking you . Thank you!!!
