Write FPS Game in C++ and learn C++

I don't have much time left till I can sign in to NHTV school as Game Programmer.

They Require basic C++ skills, as portfolio I need to make a single player game and do a 15 minute test there where I correct a C++ Code to get approved.

I don't have any skills in C++ (only a bit in JavaScript, a little bit in lua, a lot in HTML5 and CSS, but those languages aren't needed there)

I took a quick look at the unity tutorials, but don't know where to start learning from 0 like I did with HTML5.

Are there any good tutorials where I can learn C++ from scratch?

As the single player game, I want to make a FPS game, but it has to be written in C++ (and I must understand what I write).
Any idea how I can start with this?

 

You will have to look elsewhere to create games in C++. Unity supports C# as one of its scripting languages but not C++.

Unreal Engine 4 makes use of C++. For a FPS using C++ it will probably be your best bet.

I would advise learning C++ on its own before trying to use it straight away in a game though. Best is to buy a book or to google something like "C++ tutorials" and then to follow the tutorials.

 

Wait, I don't get it.
NHTV (a school) uses Unity 3D and codes in C++. You say that Unity doesn't support C++ and that makes me confused.

I've asked (just to be sure) NHTV what engine they use, waiting for their answer.
