Yeah, let me give you some detials, originally, my friend Joe (a basic programming genius now learning c++) and I (a guy who decided to start with c++) decided that we were going to make a 3D first person shooter. Well, there are many faults in our plan, the main one being that while at our age (15) and expirence level, and LACK of time a project like this will simply never get finished. The other flaw as that neither of us are artists in the 3D sense, i mean I am a gread drawer, but I suck at 3D modeling. Instead of lowering our expectations, and making one of the endless array of tetris clones, we are determined to finish this project( not to mentions start it). I have had a chance in my free time to write a lot of expeimental code to teach myself Gl and some DirectX components, but not to fully tackle writing the framework of a 3D engine.

since i shouldn''t be posting here i will make this quick and move my message over to the help wanted section.I understand the dificulity of this type of project fully, so please stop tellling me how difficult it is. I am just personally a very ambitious person, and I always have been, and it works for me. Oh and you CAN have a free complementary copy when its done, (est. finish time time 3 to 4 years)

Wait, you didn''t quite understand the point of my last post, I wasn''t telling you it is too difficult or that you shouldn''t do it or that it''ll be hell, because that was already said, I was trying to point out that both you and your buddy will have graduated before it''s finished and gone off to different colleges, therefore you will never finish it. Sorry if there was any confusion or inclarity...
