Making 3d or 2d games the EASY way

1] learn C++
2] download Visual C++ Express Edition (free)
3] download Dark GDK and install it (goes with Visual C++)

GAME!!!!!

do sigs work and dark gdk fails cause it's windows only.

when I write games I make cross-platform.

why would you make cross platform games? only windows people can play games.


reasons: windows people aren't dirt poor , they actually buy software. (so no thank you linux)

reason for not making it for macs: macs run windows don't they ? well dammit if windows can now run on macs then there is no need for macs to have directx

directx should just remain on windows plus it's the best programming api ever

whats up with the sigs?

for the sigs, just go to profile > preferences > change the option for sigs there

Cross-platform code is the only way to go.

And you can't sell games you make with dark gdk can you. . .

doesn't matter if i can sell dark gdk games or not, main idea = directx

also

I'm a mac gamer. . .

SAUERBRATEN, STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT, OTHERS. . .

It does matter whether you can sell it or not. . .

SO WHAT DO I GOTTA DOWNLOAD?

Visual C++ Express Edition and Dark GDK which is now advertised on the Microsoft site.

it's not actually "EASY" to a person like you Brad (a rookie programmer). You need to understand the C++ language very well in order to understand how to use another library as complicated as DarkGDK. Hell even I don't know how to use it (actually I'm just too lazy to look it up)

You're too lazy to do a lot of things

Probably breathing included.

i sometimes hold my breathe unconsciously.

Don't worry, I do that too.

Me too.

Sometimes when I want to stand up and I'm sitting down I can't. . . <-from laziness of course

I usually end up debating it in my head for 10 min, then get up without noticing it..

It usually happens to me when I HAVE to get up. .

so I sit there for a while and try to remember how to make my muscles contract and in what order to contract them

I have sleep apnea so me too... I'm actually pretty active when I feel like it so I don't have the other thing unless I'm feeling especially lazy.

cross platform ftw.

i game on macs (played sauer on one from 1998, at a blazing 16fps it was actually really playable)

point being: relatively modern game + 1998 mac = playable
