Any great 3d (game) programmers...?

[GuitarSlinger]

I would like to know if there are any good source on the web or in a text that provide extensive game programming in any high level language. I would like to code in c++ or visual c++. Also any info on openGL would be great.

I've developed a lot in VB if anyone is interested.

Ive found that the DirectX tutorials at http://www.vbexplorer.com/directx4vb to be helpful when im C++ ing. Just follow them through in VB, and youll have a wonderful headstart, over learning in C++ from the beginning. There are a few differences, but they are minor, and you can find those answers in the DX SDK Help files.

Yesterday, I got the book Windows Game Programming for Dummies, which shows you how to build your own games with DirectX. It uses C++
Highly recommended!!!!

CyberCarsten - I thought I recognised the code you posted in the C++ forums :rolleyes:

As far as source & tutorials & help goes, I can also highly recommend www.gamedev.com and www.lionhead.co.uk . I haven't seen flipcode.

Yes Harry, it came from the new book I bought, but I couldn't get it to work...but then you came around!! :)

I'm trying to learn C++....very hard work!!!!

[HarryW]

You'll get used to it soon enough, it's worth the effort to learn it ;)

Fox - flipCode's a damn good site, another one for the favourites :)
