1.) Learn C++.
2.) Study the source code a little.
3.) Check out the compiling tutorial in the Wiki.

I'm still stuck on the first step. :lol:

Well yeah I looked at that and I downloaded CodeBlocks... It's just I don't really know how to get started... If I had an example I could work from it (Which is what I normally do). So yeah... If anyone knows something good I can start on... Or tutor me on C++ That would be awesome :D

Then learn how to read the wiki compiling instructions :D Being able to compile is the first step to coding. Take care.

Actually, I was thinking understanding flowcharts and yes/no logic layouts would be the first step...wait, no, that's programming, as coding is a part of programming. :)

If you can't get it to compile all the flowcharts in the world aren't going to help :D haha. Take care.

Depends on the languages. Some, you don't compile, like perl or python. Then, it's about getting basic syntax and programming logic. ;)
