Many greetings mortals. I have been following "Adventures in Game Development" since the second or third video. I have joined the forums since I am about to start working on a game, probably targeting the NDS or prehaps the Pandora.

A little about myself. Well, I'm in my early 20s, living in Germany, studying Computer Science at University. Currently working for a year in the industry as part of that degree.

I am a reasonably competent programmer but game dev is all quite new to me, so hopefully you guys could give me a few pointers in the future.

Hello Chaos Rift

I`m currently studying to make to the college

In the meanwhile...trying to learn some OpenGL and C/++ to make games and stuff (didn`t start SDL yet cause my first impression was that SDL is too much high level...same with Allegro...but i haven`t read almost anything about it, so i`m probably wrong)

Anyway, i have some experience in making softwares in VB, Java, and in C (but i was using Borland C till a little time ago, so newbie at graphics area ^^)

I`m developing a game (like http://www.ogame.us) in php/javascript/MySQL and the possible version 2.0 will be with Flash/XML to put sounds and stuff in the game...but right now, i`m making the system of the game to start with the engine XD

Still there is muuuuch to learn before complete it and pass to 2D/3D game dev...so here I am ^^

OGL is actually harder than SDL/Allegro... Try checking out these tutorials. Lazyfoo, the guy who made them, is great at what he does.

Thanks for the tip ...btw the "high level" that i said is like high level programming language (Dark Basic, Blitz, etc.), not like high level of difficulty XDD

Actually, all three (OGL, SDL, Allegro) are fairly low-level, unlike things such as Ogre3D.

Edit: And welcome to the forums.

That`s good to hear...and Thanks

Keep up the great work XD

Hello! I am Josh, my youtube account is MurlocObama, incase anyone has seen me posting on Falco's videos.
i just thought that i would tell everyone about myself.
i am a programmer in various languages, i have recently started learning C/++ and i still suck, so i will be asking
many questions and trying to answer some to. I have been known for my assy-ness so if i am getting a little rude,
please let me know.
Current Projects:
I am currently doing a shitload of random programs and games to get the hang of C and C++ but i seriously started like... a week ago

One project that im actually doing, which will have a level editor(i say that because it will be the first that I made), it is a top-down/birds eye view,
shooter game. Based off of an escaped army project dude running from the American feds.

and i am also wanting to start making a game in C++ about a person lost in wilderness.

[Arce]

Aww ha. I've seen your posts around, and kept wondering if I somehow missed your introduction? haha

Anyway, welcome. And yes, I DO remember you from youtube. Glad you decided to join the forums. ;p

Also, escaped army game sounds fun, probably a good learning project too. Though if you don't have a whole lot of C++ experience, I'd probably recommend text based first. ;p

Anyway, good luck and again welcome.
