Hey guys, I'm Luke from Delray Beach, Florida. I've been playing computer games for a while now and I'm 15 and a freshman in high school. I want to learn how to develop games, specifically MMORPGS, but I gotta start somewhere. I'm good with PSP and I just got Photoshop CS2, so I'll learn how to use that. I'm teaching myself C++ and Python and I want to get into 3d Animation and stuff. Anyone with similar interests or anyone who knows any good tutorials, especially for computer animation, please drop me an email at luhan10@gmail.com or at my live journal.

Anyone here:

1) Got Half-Life 2?
2) Know how to model or animate?
2b) Both
3) Know how to map?
4) All of the above

?

Hi. My name is Raymond.

Been setting up for something big of late. Going to go to an associate of mine to try for a personal loan to start my own business. And I have all the basics in order right. You know, just how I kind of want to go about it. But I haven't been on it like I should have from the beginning. So now I am left struggling to get my affairs in order.

So I figured that I would ask if anyone is interested in helping me to start a very interesting uhh, I guess we will call it a "business". I have some ideas for it. I think i went into detail in my lj. If anyone is intersted i will fill you in on the details because I think even in my lj i didn't really go into specifics. All I have time to do now is let you know how much I am trying to get loaned which is somewhere between a hundred to a hundred and fifty thousand. Did I mention my associate was obscenely rich? Heh.

Well. Thanks for reading if you do.

Peace. Ray

Before deciding up, think again and again. If you like to develop games that only runs in Windows platform, then go with DirectX. But if you choose, you are locked to a single operating system.

Try http://www.libsdl.org for a portable option.

If you haven't learnt any scripting languages, then probably you should learn Python - http://www.python.org . The motivating article for learning Python is here.

If you are satisfied with Python, go for the SDL wrapper for Python - http://www.pygame.org . I am sure that you will have a lot of fun.

Anyone know a good place to learn how to code OpenGL and GTK (or something similar)? I'm trying to do this in pure C, and stay cross-platform, which kind of rules out things like DX, WXwidgets, and Win32. I'm looking for a website or book or something, not a course.
