completely new

well, i dont really have a base file system, not sure which are available and might fit.

since filelist seems to be abstract only, and i cannot see any exposed implementations, i will probably have to implement my own filelist.

hi there. i tried porting my GTA renderer to the newest irrlicht version, and since my version currently is based on 1.6 SVN, there are some changes in the file system API. it seems to me that since CFileList.h is only accessible to internal loaders of the engine, i have to re-implement the entire C...

Squirrel looks pretty but I was not a fan of its stability.

anyway, the times when one man can earn big money by creating software are over. maybe there is an exception twice a decade, like the minecraft guy. if you want more money than just a slightly-above-average salary, then your product needs to stick out. you want to sell a game for (just) 10 dollars p...

depends on the game. for casual games i would say windowed, for regular games fullscreen which is automatically set to the current desktop resolution, and there must be an option to set to windowed.

another idea would be to provide a launcher, like seen in max payne games for example.

the problem with setting up a webserver at home is more the problem of bandwith. most ISPs just provide big downstream, not big upstream, which is more important for hosting. i probably cannot recommend anything, because all hosting i use is from companies from my country, won't help you. maybe look...
