    Hey,

    I'm currently learning C but I want to try my hand at modding games. More specifically, I want to mod the HL2 engine which is written in C++.

    Anyway, is there much of a jump in difficulty from C to C++?

    Thanks.

    C++ is just like the name C plus a bit. Every C programme is a valid C++ programme, but not the other way around. If you know another object orientated programming language, then it shouldn't be too hard.

    bit = another plus? (sorry! so..so sorry. I couldn't resist.)

    So yeah, agreed; from a syntax point of view: you should be able to pickup C++ quickly enough. However, there is a substantial mental jump to truly understanding and using O.O. ..
