   Help on the road ahead
  Does anyone have any advice for me? I have been fighting to learn game development for a while now. I know C++, but can''t get a grip on game progrmming. Would someone please give me some advice on what to do now? I have been having several dead ends.   Scott SimontisC++ Programmer 
  Pray to your gods for guidance.Seriously, though, what''s the problem? Surely you can be more specific than "I can''t get a grip on game programming". ;  Are you sure you know C++ good enough? Because I had the same problem a while back, and so I decided to work on C++ more. ;  I''m good at C++. I know most of the stuff, and am good with OOP. I need help with what to do now. I need a free resource. It seems like anything good costs money for programming. What is some free stuff to help learn OpenGL in depth, and learn game programming. And what should I read along with OpenGL Game Programming to understand it more?   Scott SimontisC++ Programmer ;  Anything good does cost money. What you need really depends on what you want to learn. Since you seem to be focusing on 3D programming, I suggest you buy Real Time Rendering (2nd ed.) and use the online Red Book to learn how to use OpenGL.More importantly, decide on a little project to make, and make it.   [edited by - twix on August 3, 2003 11:10:11 PM];  I''ll try that book. And I have the Red Book bookmarked, so I will look at it.   Scott SimontisC++ Programmer ;  I may go over to DirectX. I am thinking about getting Windows Game Programming for Dummies and Programming Role Playing Games With DirectX.   Scott SimontisC++ Programmer
