----------------------------------- krishon Tue Jun 17, 2003 9:37 pm view a sample game ----------------------------------- i dunno if i should put this topic here or in the other c++ forum, but could someone post an exe file of a good game they made in c++, i just want to see how far c++ can go in making a good game, thx ----------------------------------- Catalyst Tue Jun 17, 2003 9:44 pm ----------------------------------- take a look at most of the games on the market today ----------------------------------- krishon Tue Jun 17, 2003 9:49 pm ----------------------------------- lol, so they use some c++ to make them? i never knew that...ye...dats cool ----------------------------------- Homer_simpson Tue Jun 17, 2003 10:39 pm ----------------------------------- well let's think about it a lil bit... the games that are made in a market are made by big companies that have very experienced c++ programmers,3d designers,sound creators,physics simulators,story writer,etc... and they usually start off a project having thousands of dollars for their budget... so dont expect to be able to write some kick ass game like those nice market games alone in a short time... but that doesn't mean u cant create nice games... you can make nice 3d and 2d games with good speed(unlike turing =/)... read this article: http://gamedev.net/reference/start_here/#5 and after that you can start here : http://gamedev.net/reference/start_here/ ----------------------------------- Martin Tue Jun 17, 2003 10:45 pm ----------------------------------- Unless you're the compsci.ca dTeam, in which case, hell yeah we're gonna write a commercal quality game over the summer on absolutely no budget. Also, games are programming with a lot of assembly for subroutines and stuff. After all, the contest seems to be who can get the best looking graphics running the smoothest on the most computers. Storyline's a thing of the past :P ----------------------------------- Homer_simpson Tue Jun 17, 2003 10:50 pm ----------------------------------- unless you people wanna make yourselfs useful by donating some money to us(instead of spamming) ... yeah right!!!like that's gonna happend :lol: :lol: ----------------------------------- JayLo Tue Jun 17, 2003 10:50 pm ----------------------------------- but Story gives a game its substance, its character... without the storyline, it'll just be a random shoot-em-up/strategy/whatevergame... ----------------------------------- krishon Wed Jun 18, 2003 9:14 am ----------------------------------- hmmm..interesting..thx :D
