4E5 Technology
June 05, 2006 12:04 PM
Out of curiousity, and perhaps to give other some ideas, I figured I'd ask what 'route' they're planning on going with their 4E5 entry. Easiest way to explain is by example, so I'll start ;)
Language(s): C#
Dimenions: Some 3d elements, all rendered in 3d, but with a lot done in 2d
Rendering: Managed Direct3d
Input: Managed DirectInput
Sound: FMod (assuming its okay again this year ;)
UI: Homebrew, since I couldn't find anything acceptable for MDX/C#
"Game Programming" in an of itself does not exist. We learn to program and then use that knowledge to make games.

Input: Likely DirectInput 7 or 9, or plain windows input.
Sound: Unknown, options likely the same as input.
UI: Homebrew
