Question Game engine!! but how?

  #1  
Mar 18th, 2008
I am a new programmer but I am devoted to make a game. Can I make a game engine that have software rendering and openGL . With a little bit of AI and dynamic lightning and sprites/models. I am not asking the ~~~~~ like Half life or Quake engine, just a "small but enough" engine that can do these things. But HOW and HOW MUCH it take in a language like C++ and openGL only.

Yes. Best place to start = OpenGL, C++, AI, and Modeling books from Barnes and Noble / Borders / Amazon. It will take a while to get something like that going... yes, even the simplest of engines takes a bunch of work. Patience is your best friend on something like this. Good luck!

Read the post above you own. Read the "Read me:" in this forum.

Why do you keep replying to old threads with questions like:
"How to start"
"i can't understand that..."
"and Y? "
"who can make me a code of my problemo "

You've got allmost 200 posts here, so by now you should know better..

you refuse to get the mesage, do you?
Do NOT revive old threads to post your own gibberish that supposedly are questions.
Start your own threads instead and post something that people can actually understand without having to spend half an hour guessing what the heck you're writing.
As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.

The thread was not yours to start with and you merely hijacked it with useless questions. Asking to have someone else's thread closed after you ruined it with gibberish is just foolish. It would have probably finished on its own 33 days ago if you had just left it alone.

If you have a coding problem, post your code with a clear question in the c++ forum (assuming you made it in C++)

Don't forget to tell what
- the code is supposed to do
- what it isn't doing
- compiler output
- etc
