If you want to learn about game programming then here are some resources you might find to be helpful...


You would first need to learning a programming language like C++...if you don't know C++ then you should go to xoax.net because it shows you how to download the FREE Microsoft's version of their Integrated Development Environment (IDE) Visual C++ 2008 Express and use it to create C++ programs

They also include many video tutorials for learning C++ and graphic programming:

Introduction to Game Programming...sometimes it would be better to get a good book for game programming because it would show step by step on how to produce a good video game and some of these books include a free or trial program like BlitzBasic or Blitz3d which would allow you to create some simple 2D or 3D video games

What is the course i have to take to become a game developer in my PG?

We Answered:

It should be called Game Design or Compuer Games Modeling or Computer game Programming . The about game design is it about understanding the theory yourself a course won't get you far you should be designing game by yourself without the degree normally. Normally Game Companies will want you to be able to do 3D Modeling or Programming aswell game design.

If you want to do a UG course thats good for game design specifically then there's Leeds but thats the only place I know of which I know do a good one.


Im doing a UG Computer Game Modeling Course so I'm leading you off I want to be a game designer too =].


BTW if you want to learn modeling then use 3DS MAX or Maya ( dont forget to model in game legality) and Programming Visual C++

Hope I helped

What level of Math is required for one pursuing a career as a video game developer?

Is a career as a video game developer a good one to pursue?

We Answered:

Voice actor, video game developer... I don't understand. If you're looking at careers that don't involve being seen, why exactly are you leaving yogurt in your hair for 10 hours at a time?

* I'm not sure if you're complimenting or being sarcastic, but I'll take it either way.

Go for the video game developer. Ingesting year old meat and allowing food products to dry to your body means you're probably more daring than most. I think you might find yourself bored reading from a script.
