Re: C++ game programming OPENGL


Game programming is never an easy task.
It is a completely different field.

Instead of learning Opengl, you can learn DirectX.
Most of the high graphics windows games are made using DirectX.
But the disadvantage is that you should have Visual C++(You can download the Visual C++ Express for free..)

The best way to start is to buy a book(or use Google Print) about what are you going to study.
I think Tricks of the Windows Game programming gurus is the best book to start.

Regards,
Paramesh.

Re: C++ game programming OPENGL


If you're really interested in learning OpenGL you may start reading the OpenGL Redbook, but it will take you a long time till you are able to draw a car or something like that with OpenGL or DirectX
