Decades ago I took a class on C++ and mostly goofed around with it, making choose your own adventure style text programs with some random numbers generated to give variety to outcomes. I have totally forgotten how to code and have no idea where to start to learn how to do that sort of thing again. I'm not looking to go pro, just dabble as a hobby and at best create a program to automate some rng tables for D&D as a novelty that I can add homebrew stuff in here and there as I come up with it and maybe have it save that stuff between sessions since my note-taking is atrocious.

Should I bother with C++ or try learning something newer since I've basically forgotten it all? How would I get started with it?

Awesome, thanks for the feedback. I'll find one of those "python for complete dumbasses" books and get to it.
