Game Programming Tutorials and FAQs.

[wyrd]

I've noticed a few more people then usual working on games, so I thought it'd be a good idea to compile a list of FAQs and tutorials that have to do with game programming. Keep in mind that these links aren't necessarily in .NET, as game programming logic is the same no matter what language you're using.

Thank you wyrd! All it took was 2 minutes and I found something that I needed to know.

Here we go!

 

RobyDX (Italian)

[Nerseus]

Here's the same link with Google attempting to translate Italian into English:

http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fmembers.xoom.virgilio.it%2Frobydx%2Fmain.htm&langpair=it%7Cen&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&safe=off&prev=%2Flanguage_tools

 

Or the translate page:

http://www.google.com/language_tools?hl=en

 

-ner

 

PS I've looked at shouzama's linked site before - the translation helps a bit, but you still have to do a lot of interpreting. Better than nothing (though not as good as having a boss that speaks fluent Italian, like me :)).

I found the following url to be one of the more understandable Managed DirectX tutorials.

[wyrd]

Link isn't working. :(

[candera]

Sorry about that - my site was down for the weekend due to a power outage. It should be back up now.
