This tutorial isn't 100% complete but the author goes into great detail in explaining what you're doing. Makes a really good First Game. You will have a ASCII rpg game by the time you complete it. I expect the 5th part to be completed soon.

This is also a good tutorial if you don't completely understand classes. All of the code is in C++.
