    Question

    A little question:

    How are you started? I think there was a time that you didnt know anything about making games. Have you learnt it from books, sites or something else.

    I don't think book's would be a great idea, you could probably start learning by your own as i did but i recommend you get a better start with some help, either by searching for good gamedeveloping sites, drop qwestions on this forum or ask help from an expert

    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
    To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.

    matjong: I learned on my own as well. Basically what I did was browse through some gaming sites and practiced from those. The DirectX7 SDK helped me a lot as well. If you are really interested in gaming I suggest you download it.
