Hallo
Im new in the game programming world with C++, really new! I want to make a 3D game.I installed today VS 2010 because I heard that there are unfixed errors(since 2005). I have a couple of books called " beginning C++ game programming" , "mastering Autodesk 3ds mask 2013"( probably I aint gonna be able to run a fresh program) and "introducing 3D game programming with directX". are these good or better suggestions? how can I learn most efficiently? I also heard that will need to have 3ds max and DirectX. how will I combine those with C++? and what file/project do I need? I tried using a new cpp file but couldn't found lIke compile and run.
