   Please help me
  I am a beginer in this feild of game developing tell me plesae from where I start   
The Forum FAQ;  First learn grammar and spelling :-p. Then head on over to the  For Beginners  section. I also recommend checking out http://cprogramming.com and maybe getting some of the books recommended by this site. This is a good site to have when learning. I am still learning too and find this website very awesome.   ;  I am student of BSIT in 4th semester, so had a bit idea of C++, tell me now where to start I usually do my programming assignment in Borland C++ compiler the one which has blue color interface. I want switch to visual c++ compiler but I have no idea of its graphics libraries.   ;  Go get the express edition of visual studio. I think it comes with OpenGl, but I'm not sure on that. Since you're somewhat familiar with programming, you can choose which API you want to use for graphics:OpenGl, DirectX or some sort of engine / framework which makes life easier for you.But this really depends on what you want to do. If you specifically want to learn the low level stuff, then use OpenGl/DirectX directly, but it will be hard at first.If you want to create games, then you could use an existing engine / framework that does that low level stuff for you, so you can worry about the game and not the implementation.   ;Quote:Original post by DeFesslerFirst learn grammar and spelling :-p.

If you want to make 2D games, I would recommend something like SDL or SFML as a graphic library.Even if you want to make 3D games eventually, starting off by making some smaller 2D games is a great way to learn some of the skills you will eventually need.   ;  what is SDL?, is it a programming language, I have no idea about it   ;  SDL is a graphics library, it also handles other things too such as input and sound. (actually I may be making that last bit up, it's been a while since i've used SDL. Don't take my word that it does actually include audio functionality).If you've got programming experience SDL is a good place to start I think.   ;  ^Yes, SDL provides input (Keyboard, Mouse, & others (eg Joystick)) as well as sound. There are some add-on SDL libraries, mainlySDL_mixer, an advanced version of SDL's audio subsystem.SDL_net, for netoworking needs (eg a online game)SDL_image, for loading various types of images to SDL_Surfaces.SDL_ttf, for rendering trueType fontsAnd Qureshi, here is a wiki link for SDL:LinkkThere are some nice external links at the bottom of the page, it should eb worth checking out to get the basic idea of SDL & what it is good for. :)
