G'day!

I am looking to create my own video games for consoles like Nintendo 64 which use c to program games. The problem is I don't have much if any programming knowledge and am looking for a good beginner guide to learn the basics and fundamentals.

Can you point me in the direction of a good learning resource? I have looked at, "The C Programming Language," by Kernighan but I don't feel it is all that noob friendly.

Cheers
Chris

P.S. Yes I am aware C is a tricky language to learn

    Yes, it certainly is a hard programming language to learn, and I'm not sure you will really be able to do it from a book. At the end of the day, you need to find VERY simple sample programs, open them up in a text editor, and use Google and your C book as a reference for learning what all of the lines and functions do.

    Then build a simple Hello World app and get on your way to doing more complex things.

        "Programming in C" by Yashwant Kanetkar's is good book for learning to C language.
