Hmm.. 
I've made my first game with c++ n' DarkGDK.

Download it here.
Download timed out

What do you think?
It's a little like falldink, but I myself find it better

It's kinda fun for a few times I think you can build on the game design and still teach yourself new stuff in C++ That way you don't have to start 5 different projects

Hmm.. 
What do you mean? That I should keep working on this? That was what I had in mind. Thought of adding highscore and more bonuses like something to slow down platforms for a certain ammount of time.
Ideas are welcome, and post your highscores!

You feed the madness, and it feeds on you. 
You might have the source, but I will use the force! That's right, the power of the force is on my side, Muhahahaha!

I didn't try this, but I'll pretend I did. Nice work Linus, you're a clever boy

When I click on the exe I get "This application has failed to start because d3dx9_35.dll was not found".

Oh wait, seems like that's my problem, not with the game
Time for some googling.

Ok, d3dx9_35.dll was found
Nice game, high score so far is, um, 71.

Sparrow, same happened to me. What must I do to fix this terrible thing. I'm too lazy to Google it.

Love! True love! 
This should fix the .dll problem, it's not the game it's us . I had to upgrade to the latest version of Microsoft DirectX, which fixed it.

Edit: I like this game, but some things about it make me want to stab a kitten.

1) Three of the times I died were because nothing was under the spawn point. XD

2) It seems like the arc he jumps in should be smoother.

3) I think the platforms need a slightly smaller range, because when I need to only go off the platform a little bit, I can't make it off.

4) Is he a poptart?

Thanks for all the comments, I'll work on the things you guys pointed out.

First of all I'll make the first platform spawn directly under the player, I've been thinking about that for a long time but never bothered and the eventually forgot about it.
