    Please let me know what are the requirements to create a game in VC++. By requirements I mean like SDK's or game engine's etc.

      Depdends a lot of the type of game you want to write. 2D or 3D ? You want to use DirectX or OpenGL or something higher level ?

        Choosing the right SDK or a game engine depends on game requirements. :-D

          Suppose I want to make a 3d car racing game. Then in this case what things I need to be know. Please give me some examples of the requirements needed.

            Here's a simple C++ game:

            #include<iostream>
            using namespace std;
            void main()
            {
            while(true)
            {
            cout<<"You're plzying cool - bezt player!"<<endl;
            cout<<"Oh my God... press enter again LOLZ..."<<endl;
            cout<<"You're liking the gamz#$$";
            }
            }

            Seriously, you at least need to tell what is the game that you're talking about. :)

            Ok, everytime I enter aa code with anny of the #include starters, i get 103 errors and 2 warnings, and then I look for them, and it opens a new window "tab" thingy, and otsream, or istream or math or w/e i am using comes up. It makes testing fully written programs impossible to test. Does anyone know how to fix it?? - A query asked on the VC++ board[^]

              Do you want to start from scratch and write your own 3d engine ? This is quite complicated and very long but you'll learn a lot of usefull things (and chances are you won't finish the game since it is already something very complex on his own). You could also use an existing 3D engine. Some that comes to my mind: Ogre, Irrlicht, TrueVision. Check if what they can satisfy your requirements.

                Probably you should use DirectX or OpenGL libraries. Please note yours is a daunting task, see, for instance [^]. :)

                                  It's free of cost. But if you are filthy rich, and you want to donate, you may please contact me by email. :cool: PS: I know it is such an addictive game. I hope you liked it. ;)

                                    I haven't played it myself, as I'm quite busy writing more such games. But I heard that this one was quite addictive. You must try it to believe it. Note: Did you know that this game is very highly portable? :) :laugh:

                                      Please let me know what are the requirements to create a game in VC++. By requirements I mean like SDK's or game engine's etc.
