How do I start?

superdood13 · 2001-12-03T08:03:30

Because I have heard that making a tetris game is the best place to start that is what I am going to do. But just one question... would it be better to learn something like this using straight C++ or should I try to use DirectX too? Any advice would be helpful... thanx...

quote: Original post by borisnico My first game ever made was a text-mode tetris, and it was good for learning purposes. Then when it was finished i re-wrote it using glut/opengl. My next step will be writing it in SDL.

Lucky. ;p
1984: Home: screen characters printed, peeked, and poked with basic on the parents Commodore 64.
1992: High School: *body shiver* two words: MAC LAB (Don''t even get me started)
1994: College: some colored dots moving on a black screen on a 386
2001: MSVC++6pro, Win98, and DX8. How SWEET it is...
