I have AGK2 from 2 days.
I'm Learning C++. I would like to program in C++, use the agk lib and make an app game for android.

I don't find a nice doc/manual/help for do that from AGK2 program and Web!

I have a little program in C++ (using template.h ; http://www.appgamekit.com/documentation/guides/20_windows.htm). It runs nice at Visual Studio but... and now? can i put that into AGK2 program and buil an android app? Next step? I don't understand how... I don't find info/support...

I'm absolutely lost! I feel I wasted my money...

Please Help!

The Documentation is very good. This is where I turn to for help first.

Although it dosnt describe everything. It will get you started. When you get stuck on a project just ask on the forums.
A lot of people are willing to help. This is a very good community.

Have a good look around the forums, I have only had AppGameKit for a short period and am using tier 1 with only having done a bit of C/C++ many years ago and then I wasn't very good at it.
However I found that when I had a go at tier 2 it wasn't too difficult to do.
As a test I took a tier 1 basic program in AppGameKit and cut and pasted it into visual C++ then changed the code line by line. I did get some of the syntax etc wrong but the forum community came to the rescue with sites to use for assistance and with the few mistakes I made.

Check out this post to see some code side by side in tier 1 and 2 and also help sites. You will notice the code is not too different.

Hope this helps a bit
