use a pen and paper; it's 2d enough. seriously, do you have a game idea ? what this game will be ? how it's going to be played ? the rules ? the elements ? how many players ? how the computer will play if you have to play against it ? even if it's a highly graphical game, try drawing a storyboard of the game, that depicts how the game will be played. other than that, GDI might be enough.

which in the end, does not make him harmful, per se (depends on what he does with it more than talk about it). But it does not win him many friends.

Brad!!!!!! :-D:-D:-D. Our firewall is not blocking anything now. I just tested it with a p*rn. :laugh: lol. But seriouly it's letting me go anywhere. Yesterday my boss gave me an URL to read a document. The link got blocked so I complained about that to him. After sometime he sent a mail like "Try it now". That's it. Now I'm trying every other site! :laugh: :jig: :badger:

Great! Do you know what he did? Maybe he accidentally unblocked everything. Anyway I think it would have been a much wiser choice to send this message through an encrypted connection to one of my sites using a previously decided apon private key. Why you may ask, Well because your system admin seems to read CP.

Check out the game link at Microsoft's Coding 4 Fun[^] web site. Contains a lot of good, useful information on game development and whatnot. Also check out GameDev.Net[^]

Click and Play, it was published in 1994 and works fairly well. Beyond that Open GL is so much easier to use than DirectX but you don't get the added benefit of DirectInput. I used to be a fan of the C4 engine because of the low cost but after playing the demo a few times I am no longer a fan of the graphical abilities.

actually, using direct Input with OpenGL is quite common and relatively easy compared to learning all of DirectX. :) I use DirectInput for joystick input, as do many OpenGL programmers who need access to joystick operations for windows only work.

I dont need to be afraid I guess. I think only because of this, he's give me the rights to browse anything. I mean he's afraid of the *drug* matter we discussed that day! :-D [Hello Admin, Good work keep it up!];P
