   Where to start?
  Heres what ive doneIve done game programming before. I took the Q2 engine, plugged in opengl enhancements but ive never coded them myself. I got pretty good at modifying game physics etc but everything was already there.Heres what I want to doI feel like my next step is to make something from scratch. I want to make a 3d racing game with SDL/OpenGL. Im basically making an engine from scratch. I dont quite know much from there though.What level format should I use? What model format should I use? What should I do to start off? Yes... im a n00b.

Creating an engine from scratch is several steps further.   ;  Good idea. The Q2 engine is fairly dead tho. Maybe enhance the Q3 engine?
