A good website to link to would be http://www.gamedev.net/

They are the type of community, that will help you go through your 500 line C++ code, looking for the error you made when something won't compile.

I think Python is a decent language to start with, simply because it's relatively high-level and easy to follow. It even has a library aimed for games called pygames.

Nice thread. I've got the basics of C++ under my belt. Those links in the first post will help a lot. Thanks. Are any of you guys developing anything currently? I'm in the process of modding HL2 to make it look more like the beta.

I want to start trying some flash stuff out, but I'm not all that interested in learning to animate. Probably have to wait till summer to really delve into it though.

CE3 SDK is pretty good too, but it depends on what kind of game you want to make.

maybe you should add textbooks too

http://www.amazon.com/Real-Time-Ren...30324987&sr=1-1

also a C++ textbook
http://www.amazon.com/Programming-P...30324962&sr=8-3

1)real time rendering. its a bit more technical because its about actually building engines and graphics algorithms. I have it and have gotten through about 2 chapters, but i dont have time to finish it due to school, but it is a verygood book.

2)i feel that learning a programming language from a website is a bit difficult and the book i recommended is really comprehensive and covers almost everything that you would need to know its expensive, but you an "get" it in other ways

i have another to recommend but i cant remember the name

edit: maybe UG should have a community made game. that would be awesome

This thread will hopefully be awesome, I have tried to make some games in the past but always got lazy or bored with them, maybe I could have another go...




Get that link gone before this thread gets closed!

I used to try and make games with a program called Game Maker. They were horrid. They'd always end up being far more ambitious than my rudimentary programming skills could manage. I remember in one, the walls would disappear if you looked at them from a certain angle.

will have to look at this thread more later, I want to learn


I think you mean Sintel

Yes, of course, Sintel.

Sorry, messed that up while writing the OP.



Do you have a download link for that?

Last time I used Blender, it didn't have projection cages for normal baking, and being able to bake normal maps is pretty important nowadays.

you put a lot into the op though, so a mistake or two is no big deal

Cool thread. At the moment I'm working on a ms3d model file loader/viewer, so i can use skeletal animation in my 'game engine'. It isn't a real engine (yet). So far it only supports loading, viewing and moving .obj models with textures and bounding box collision detection with buggy collision response. I haven't worked on it for about half a year, but because i have a holliday for a week I picked it up again.
