   Beginning Game development
  Alright im starting with game development again and im researching tutorials and also referencing to my 2 books that ive purchased and read awhile back (i almost completely forgot what ive learned because i dont recessively use it so ill just review over it to refreshen my memory) But as far as specifically focusing on game development and not programming...Where do I begin as far as game development? Like by using programming how do i start programming but specifically on game development.(I know about if cases,classes,oop, and general C++ programming knowledge but i dont know how to actually make the games.) Any help would be appreciated.   
  My advice is that if you already have the c++ fundamentals, head on over to  nehe.gamedev.net  and start at lesson one, and build up some knowledge on OpenGL.   ;  Thankyou, I appreciate it. Any additional advice is also welcome. A complete understanding should always be achieved especially if its as confusing as C++.^_^   ;  Learn a graphics API.  2d is really easy> Allegro,SDL.   ;  Just get on with standard APIs in the business because you need to learn it anyway. It'd be just a waste of time learning what GDNet holds so valuably because at the end, it's just a waste of time.   ;Quote:Original post by damastaplayaAlright im starting with game development again and im researching tutorials and also referencing to my 2 books that ive purchased and read awhile back (i almost completely forgot what ive learned because i dont recessively use it so ill just review over it to refreshen my memory) But as far as specifically focusing on game development and not programming...Where do I begin as far as game development?
