   Your Hot Links Needed!
  Hey guys,Whether this comes to anything is up to you, i'd like it to. If you don't think it should be done then hey, i've tried. But i'll just have to try harder. So here goes...After being on these forums i'm seeing alot of topics being started about things that have been asked a gazzillian times and i realised i have never tried to do anything about it so i have two suggestions/ideas.I posted this here and not CSI because i wanted alot of people to read it. Newer users tend not to look at CSI threads, but alot do look in GP.A more definitive list of resources where information on regularly used concepts are described. I am aware of For Beginners, i redirect people there all the time, but it isn't always known to the young'ens.The List So Far:----------------- General InformationWikipediaGoogleDictionary.comMerriam-WebsterFlip CodeEncarta Encyclopedia Online- Graphics Generalrealtimerendering.com - All about Graphics techniques Developer.NVidia.com - Graphics related issues ati.com/developer MVPS - Microsoft's Most Valuable ProfessionalMorrow Land - General TutorialsSpace Simulator - General Tutorials- Programming GeneralOOPWeb.com CodeProject- Windows DevelopmentMSDN MicrosoftWIN32 Programming FAQWIN32 Assembley Programming- MAC DevelopementMac Game DevelopmentMac App Developement- Game DevelopementGD Forum SearchGD Articles and SearchFluid Studios - Good stuff on game programming Gamasutra- Language SpecificCPP Reference - C++Roguewave's Standard C++ Library Module Reference Guide - C++GOTW - Guru of the Week, advanced C++ articlesconst-correctness article- Maths and PhysicsWolfram's World - Math, Physics and Science Kinetic Books - All about game physics - Alternative LibrarieswxWidgets - Cross platform C++ Gui LibraryBoost - Boost C++ library- DirectXAndy Pike - Mixed TutorialsDrunken Hyena - Tutorials- OtherKoders.com - Browse online source codeFAQS.org  - FAQsWotsit.org - A comprehensive list of file formatsGoogle GroupsPost any links you think should be added, ones you have used in the past.I have tried to catagorise them as best i can, if you think any should be moved around please say.

Another dictionary reference is dictionary.comAnd another way to search for Microsoft API references is to use google and narrow the search by adding "site:microsoft.com" after the query. For example, CreateProcess site:microsoft.com.   ;KodersFor inspiration/poorly documented API usage   ;  Keep them coming!!   ;  Perhaps http://www.cppreference.com/ ?   ; Wolfram's World - Math, Physics and Science  FAQS.org  Wotsit.org - A comprehensive list of file formats  realtimerendering.com - All about Graphics techniques  Developer.NVidia.com - Graphics related issues  ati.com/developer  Kinetic Books - All about game physics  Fluid Studios - Good stuff on game programming  Flip Code - What else can I say[lol]  OOPWeb.com I have a habit of storing all interesting sites, so these are just cut-and-paste[wink].
