Hi,
After reading Game Coding Complete 2nd Edition, I think I can make video games now. I want to make a small 2D game at home for fun. There is no rush or deadline for the game to complete.
Since I've been using C++ and other Microsoft languages for over ten years now, for server side stuffs though, I'm quite comfortable with the architecture and implementation shown in the book and demo. I very like the flexible, powerful and reliable side of C++.
I only want to support DirectX 1.0, because I do not want to use any of the 3D or networking stuffs. Is it possible? Can still found download for DirectX 1.0 SDK?
Have you ever heard about a tool called BlitzPlus? Does anyone use it for developing real games? I took at look at their demos of the language. Hard to believe I can use it to do anything serious. But, I do not know for sure. It does can take care of the DirectX implementations and support DirectX 1.0. Should I use it and apply Game Coding complete's architecture to build my home-grow game?
What is your suggestion?
Thanks, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
