   Continuing my old charred due to multiple flaming post...
  I remember someone asking me about C++ PRIMER PLUS. So far so good, I'm on the fifth chapter and everything has been pretty much review (good review) but non-the less it has been very well written and documented. So go get it. And if anybody wants to know I going by the "So you want to be a game programmer" article on AMAZON.COM and every recommendation stated in the article has turned out to be very useful. I have bought most of the list but due to a lack in employment in the USA cash has been a little strapped if you know what I mean. DISCLAIMER:"DIRECTXMEN" does not guarantee that the upper message is free of grammatical as well as spelling errors so read at your own risk. "DIRECTXMEN" will no longer reply to any post considered "flaming" which is judge by "DIRECTXMEN" himself. Also, "DIRECTXMEN" will no longer reply to the following people: "xMcBaiNx", "cowsarenotevil" (or any other cow related name), "twix", "kordova", "neurokaotix", "Oluseyi" (or any moderator for that matter) and any other person that attack him. Further more, if you find my post offensive or not to your liking do not reply.[edited by - DIRECTXMEN on July 31, 2003 11:25:18 PM][edited by - DIRECTXMEN on July 31, 2003 11:25:52 PM]
  Do you think that it would work as a good reference book?EDIT: Oh, seeing your edit, will you please reply to me (I was the one who asked how the book was in the first place, just so you know...) or will I have to use my other user name?   [edited by - cowsarenotevil on July 31, 2003 11:00:01 PM];  I actually had some constructive things to add at the end of all of that, not to mention that YOU started the grammar/spelling correction blitz so cry me a river of hypocrisy.With that said, good luck on your programming journeys. ;  Yeah.. kordova''s a big time troller. I''d watch your back   James SimmonsMindEngine Developmenthttp://medev.sourceforge.net;quote:Original post by neurokaotix  Yeah.. kordova''s a big time troller. I''d watch your back   Are you serious or was that in jest? (I''m honestly inquiring.)In any event, I did ask and state some serious things at the end of that thread. Again, I turned his weak "argument" against others towards him to demonstrate for him the pointlessness of his original methods. To misinterpret someone and then start pointing out spelling errors for no reason when you''re caught is poor posting form. IMHO I feel I did nothing wrong. ;  To quote myself:quote:All that aside, what are you planning on next? To reiterate what has been said, I think some projects should take priority over more books as most of that information will most likely be lost to you without repetition and some hard thought. What have you programmed so far? If your ovarall goal is an mmorpg or whatever might be the case have you done the "obligatory" tetris and arcade clones and such? I''d even recommend a MUD just for the experience after those others.No matter your intellect or how much information you''ve gathered, the road to developing anything "massively multiplayer" is a long one. I''m not trying to say that you don''t realize this, but it''s worth pointing out over and over again as you learn the language.I suppose I''m being a huge troller in trying to genuinely aid someone who can''t admit that they were wrong and just move on. ;quote:Original post by kordova  Are you serious or was that in jest?
