You don't want to use that. The book which included the engine was recalled by the publisher a few years back. Use something else. SourceForge might have something useful...

As everyone has said; You reach chapter four and it ends there. The engine doesn't work. It's a big shame the book started good.

Do you know by any chance a good book for learning how to make games with C++ ?

Not offhand,,,, but Amazon can be your friend.

It really depends what you want to know. If you are a beginner to programming then a book like Beginning C++ Through Game Programming could be for you. It only talks about really simple games like Hangman and TicTacToe, but if you've never really programmed before, it would be pretty good.

After you've trenched through that book, then you could probably go into more advanced things such as graphics.

The Game Makers Apprentice: Game Development for Beginners also looks like a really good book. From the looks of it, it provides some kind of framework, so you should be able to get a game with graphics going pretty quickly.

The first one is more likely to teach you about actual programming, whereas the second one will teach you more about making games.

You could probably get both. Anyway, hope that helps.
