    Anyone Want To Help Me With A Tron Game Idea?

    One of the things you will have to figure out, when doing C++ (or other compiled languages), is how to get your edit/compile/link/execute development process going. Though this is separate from writing actual code, it is a crucial part of programming (and it can be a very complex/frustrating...

    Anyone Want To Help Me With A Tron Game Idea?

    I use VIM and a commandline. However, maybe using Eclipse or CodeBlocks would be easier for you? Unfortunately I don't use IDEs (Integerated Development Environments) - so I can't help you with that. If you want to try coding - pick a language, get an editor (or IDE), compile[link]run some...

    Anyone Want To Help Me With A Tron Game Idea?

    Well the way I got started myself, was by getting an example/sdk running, then doing a Hello World, then an image on screen, then an animation, then controls, adding enemies and eventually a level... and before I knew it I'd rebuilt LodeRunner. Surely you could try something similar yourself if...

    For pixel art, I've seen ppl work magic with DeluxePaint - that is if you have 2D in mind. If it's 3D, then Photoshop for textures and either 3DStudio Max or Maya for modeling. What is it you like to do most yourself? Coding, graphics, game design?

    I'd only be able to make time from Jan. 2011. If you're still looking by that time, we could give it a go? However, more importantly ... are you good at making graphics? :) There is no problem for me to cover the coding, but would love to team up with a really good pixel artist.

    How Did You Start Out Developing?

    Ah yes the Game Programming Gems' Series is a must! Also if you're into graphics, have a look at: - Computer Grahics: Principles and Practice in C, Foley et al - OpenGL Programming Guide (the redbook yay!), Dave Shreiner - Michael Abrash's Graphics Programming Black Book (thickest one on the...

    How Did You Start Out Developing?

    To learn the language basics, I think working through something like "SAMS teach yourself C++ in 21 days" is still ok (though fanatics will loathe me for saying this). It will walk you through the features in an organized and not too complicated way. Once you get used to C++, I would recommend...
