First step: What are the specs. of this machine?

Where's the particle bonanza, eyecandy overload, and cute to till you puke stuff?

Disregard everything you wrote, and focus on what I wrote. For it is the secret to suckering in a cult following,...

Why would you not want to write one?

Gives you a better understanding of things anyway.

C++, C#
But I doubt you're at the level of 3D development.

This was a pretty good book on the subject. Goes over all the crap they teach you in high-school, in the first...

I'm no Blender professional but I'm sure there's plenty to find here (http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Blender+tutorials) or perhaps here (http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Blender+video+tutorials).

The one nieke_e posted and this tutorial http://www.codecolony.de/opengl.htm are my favorites, on OpenGL. I threw together a quick 2D engine, in about a day, after reading a few of those articles.

If you know C++, then you should already know the answer(yes).

Uhmmm... This is dead, Valkyrie.

I think C++ is fine. I did text based stuff when I was younger in C & BASIC. Sort-of sucked because I never had any tutorials or references around, and had to program out of memory something I just...

Can you break down the problem into something readable?

Tis general forum courtesy.

tomtetlaw, how long have you been here - reviving dead threads, and posting an e-mail?

One way would be getline getline(file, string);, or using >> file >> x; file >> y; file whatever;, if your data is in a fixed format.

Why are you using gotos?!...

What about Action Script is the problem?

Does code have to be "brand-new", can you pull stuff out of old projects, or use bits used from your old challenge?

If you don't even need all that fancy stuff anyway, DX9. Maybe even try SDL or Allegro if you'd like even more OS cross-platform compatibility.

Actionscript if your into flash games, C++ is my preferred language.

Well yes, there is a way. Thinking back to all those old text based games.

I need a little more clarification, on what you're asking.

This thread is from '07.... why bump it?



It's one of the top languages for it. For small games Flash and such is fine, but for larger projects C++ is the way to go. All you need is a decent...
