I agree with you completely.
Not many people fully understand what is meant by "Rome was not built in a day".

Before you run, you must learn to crawl.

I started off with basic C programs, OpenGL, DirectX, then third party game engines ( Irrlicht ), modelling tools like Milkshape 3d and animation tools like character FX.

Re: Creating a good game

Of course, you could try to build a game that doesn't use any high - res graphics. Ever heard of ZZT? That's what I'd do if I wanted to build a game for a hobby. Why? Because I'm too lazy to even try to learn all that 3D programming bumf :p .

Well... What I mean is like where I can just do the graphicing ? Any pre mades? Which one should I download tehres SDK and anthoer
:eek:

You need to learn to crawl first, my man. I don't think you ought to be concerned yet with writing a game as much as you should be learning how to read and write code. Don't worry about downloading anything yet. Hit Amazon.com and start buying C++ and OpenGL books. If you're going to be using Visual Studio as your dev environment, check out a book on that as well. Speaking of "checking out", you could even go to your local library and take a look at their computer book section.

If you can't get some basic stuff to compile, you're never going to get anywhere with a pre-fab download framework. You've gotta learn what's going on under the hood first.

Best of luck to ya!

Re: Creating a good game

hi, i agree completly, learn 3D graphics and c++ before you can even attempt to create a simple game but in the long run developing a unit such as WOW would take a single designer around 2 years. I specialize in HTML and web design i mostly use PHP and Javascript, so if you even need a hand just ask anyway yh if you want a full video tutorial download it from a bitTorrent leacher like BTjunkie, Lynda.com

More like 200.

Wow took a few years to make, with many excellent coders
