Maybe we should have a "recommended reading" or something like that thread (or maybe i just didn't find it ). People could post Books they recommend (be it coding, databases, 3d etc.) and maybe add a little review.

I'd also recommend buying "Accelerated C++" if you want a good book. It's fast paced but since you know JAVA and C, that should be exactly what you want.

I did code on a little bit in text only, so I can give at least some advices, eventhough this project was one of the worst, design and code wise, I ever started. (oh, and it was C#. A typicall get me coding so i can pass the test kind of thing) GameState: The GameState class is were it all started. ...

All I can tell you is that there's quite an amount of planning involved. I wanted to write an Adventure game like MI3 (don't really like 3d for Adventures) but it's on hold due to lack of artists. If you want to use C++, I'd recommend reading "Accelerated C++". But for this kind of game Ar...

If you release globaly, you better make sure you can provide the required support. But what if the programmer had taken Italian in Highschool (wich is possible in at least one Highshool around here)? I'm not saying that a broad knowledge is bad, quite the opposide. It's always good to know as much a...

Well, to me it's school (up untill high school) that should teach you the broad knowledge and universitys should be for specialization. Forcing people to take all sorts of classes in universitys is more of a hotfix for a failed regular education in school. Especially so in countrys were universitys ...

Ok, thanks a lot. I guess I'll just have to mess around and read some code to see what it looks like. I'll see if I can squeze in some time between exam preperations this weekend.

I googled a little and read a little, but I'm not sure what to google for. Is there some generall guide on how modelling (and modell-code interaction) works ? Or are they all specific to the used programms (that's what I found). What I want to know is basically: a) If there is animatins, say some mo...

Luckily German Universitys don't force you to take classes not related to what you study (at least not in the field I'm in). To me, the American University system seems to be more of an extended High School than really focusing on what's important (only know about bachelor degree, I sure hope it get...

I did Alt + Tab and then Ctr. + C in the console window

All I did was extract the zip to C:\, so now I have a C:\irrlicht-0.7. Didn't compile out of the box for various reasons. Reading the incode comments here's what you have to do: - I copied the 3 .dll files from the bin directory (C:\irrlicht-0.7\bin\VisualStudio) to the release and debugg directorys...
