    So, I'm taking Game Development next year and my classes start in January. I wonder if any of you had any experience in Game Development etc. I want to heard your comments, if you like, it was hard etc.As in Game Development Programming I'm taking: *Introduction to Game Development*Level Building and Design*3D Programming I*3D Programming II*System Analysis for Game Development*Network Programming for Game Development*Artificial Intelligence*User Interface Design*Game Development Project

Wrapping your head around the boring basics (pointers, templates, etc.) will be much harder than learning how to make graphics and the game loop (which is "fun" :) )   ;Quote:Original post by SquirellQuote:Original post by blackdevil  So, I'm taking Game Development next year and my classes start in January.

I want to start learning so when college start I'm ready to go.   ;Quote:Ceoddyn, what's the best way to start programming? I want to start learning so when college start I'm ready to go.I'm not Ceoddyn, but my suggestion would be to learn Python from a book (such as O'Reilly's Learning Python.  Its a great language that lets you be productive fast.  You could then learn C/C++ later on, since you will probably need that for a real game development program.
