hello worldbest. I totally agree with you. I'm into game programming. It'll be nice if game programmers on niraland can come together to share ideas. Are u a game programmer? Holla.

Hey teleporter, i've finally gotten what we've been loking for. Check out this page: www.gamedev.net/reference/articles/article1775.asp. After reading through the article, then also check out comments on the article on this page: http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?key=featart&uid=1775&forum_id=35&topic_title=direct3d+vs.+opengl%3a+which+api+to+use+when%2c+where%2c+and+why&PageSize=25&WhichPage=1. It will help. Later.

hey teleporter, sorry for the late reply. I'll appreciate it if u can send me the opengl book u've got. Though, the truth is that i'm still making research to see which is better between opengl and directx- it seems directx is gaining an upper hand. The point i got from a friend is that directx has a major advantage over opengl in the area of speed which makes it more suitable for game development. He said that with directx, u can access the video card directly and program the video card to do what u want. This makes ur game come out faster and easier to code. Unlike, directx, opengl has an interface on top of the video card, which means u can't access the video card directly.
I'm expecting more advanced game programmers in the house to criticize the point above.

I'm into game programming. I'm just about to conclude a 2D tank game which i've been working on. After the 2D game, i'll go straight into 3D game programming.
Holler.

Whats up teleporter. In game programming u need little or no knowledge of windows programming because the game engine takes care of that except u want to build ur game engine from the scratch. There are different engines used to build 3D games. The game engine takes care of the main logics of the game. It takes care of the windows programming aspect of the game. The graphics engine takes care of the screen or graphics of a 3D game. We also have the terrain engine that takes care of the environments in the game. But for a 2D game, thats less complex than 3D, a simple game engine can take care of most of the things u'll need in to make a 2D game.

For the case of directx and opengl. They are both tight but from my observation, it seems opengl is more popular. From my view, i repeat. I was thinking of which one to learn myself but the problem has been how to get a concise tutorial on both subjects. If u know how i can get it, pls holla at me. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply wilfem. I got the free version but it seems its expired. Thats why i'm looking for the activation parameter- its asking me for name, email address and activation key.

I guess osama is a holy man, so he respects priests. Isn't it?

who are you

Please, can anyone help me with any book on opengl and directx, preferably in pdf format. I'll appreciate ur help. Thanks in advance. Incase you need my email address, it is: o_sodunke@hotmail.com

Please i need the activation parameters for internet download accelerator or internet download manager. Or which software do u use for speedy download on the internet and how can i get it? Thanks in advance.

Please, could u help me with the activation parameters for internet download accelerator or internet download manager. Or what software do u use for speedy downloads on the internet?. Thanks in advance.

New testament minus Old Testament.

. The truh is that if u do not understand the new testament very well u cannot understand the old testament. The old testament is the new testament concealed. In other words, the new testament is encoded in the old testament. Except God opens your eyesof understanding, u cannot understand the new testament very well especially the epistles. The New testament is all about Christ and the Church. All the prophecies in the Old testament are concerning Christ. What else? The people were called christians at antioch because the were doing like Christ. The people saw Christ in Them so they called them Christians.

Please, how can i get the LINDO, Management Scientist software? Do you have any link to a website i can, maybe download it.

anybody wanna play scrabble online? visit www.scrabulous.com Its fun. Trust me. See ya.

is that an application to solve linear programming problems or a programming language?

Hello people, its nice to find a 'try your luck' thread like this. I'm gonna start like this:
My name is Gbenga sodunke.

Primary School Attended: TORIA SCHOOL YABA BETWEEN 1991 and 1997.
I'm looking for the following people that went to that school and we graduated together:
OMOLOLA EYITAYO(cousin to SEUN OGUNDIPE)
AZEEZ NOFIU
DOMINIC_{[/sub]cna't remember the surname.
PROMISE[sub]}same here.

Secondary School Attended: MCSS BETWEEN 1997 AND 2001(left in SS1)
I'm looking for the ffg people that went there:
ALEXANDER OKWUDI.(I heard he's in UNILAG)
LOVELYN MAURICE.

MERCI BOUQUI.

correct! If it suits what u wanna use it for then u can go ahead and use it. But i see no reason to use a framework if it makes little or no reasonable difference.

hey ynot. the download link has expired. How can u help get those ebooks. Your help would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Whats up Teleporter. The only game programming book i have on ur list is the first one u listed- 3D math Primer for graphics and game development. Are u new into game programming?

hey gifosek. I think they've all said it all. Especially picoba's and unixmann's reply. But i'll just like to add that, passion and determination should come first and not money. Cos monry will surely come later. Moreover, u will surely get to a point when u will feel like quitting because of the challenges u will face in doing whatever u decide to do but ur passion for it will help u overcome such challenges. Then most importantly, let God guide you in all u do. Best of luck.

I don't believe you. Not that you can't fall in love but how did u guys meet?there must be an attraction, Beauty?

Hey what do u mean. Do you think the road programmer's walk are different from the roads where marke traders walk. Ah ah, as big as Nigeria is they could have met anywhere. Maybe he met her when he wanted to buy pepper or whatever sshe sells

No! Don't look for someone of your level. U could help her write softwares that can help her in her business. Like record of daily sales,

Hey blissbay, thats interesting to me. Linear programming is one of the courses i took last semester. The best programming language u can use to do this depends on which u can use. Moreover, any programming language can be used for it. C++, Java, Vbasic and so on. So choose the one u can use. I'll start thinking of doing something on it myself. Luck.

hey golden raymy email address is geebengs@yahoo.com.

wow! This is cool. Thanks bro.

Ok. Thanks richylaw. I'll get in touch with u if i need to.

hey goldenray, could you please send me the application too? I'll be really grateful if u can send it to me. Thanks in anticipation.

Hi zpixel, U are really doing those of us who want to learn a big favour. The knowlege of 3D modelling will go a long way in helping me design a sophisticated 3D game. Thanks for ur help.

Thanks richylaw for the reply. How can i get in touch with u? have u got a messsenger ID? I hope to hear from u. I'll appreciate ur help.

Hello guys. I'm not surprised at what am seeing on this forum. I've always known there are oceans of talents in this country. And personally, i don't believe there is anything too difficult to learn. Anyway, the help i need from u gurus is information on where i can get a detailed tutorial on 3D studio max. I got the software recently but i'be not been able to use it cos, to my surprise i didn't find any help file in it. A pragmatic reply would be appreciated. Thanks.

Big thanks to you wavemaster. I'm going to research more on the subject. At least i now have an understanding of what VHDL is. Thanks a lot.

Thanks wavemaster for the reply. Actually, Have been programming in C++ for a while now. I have had interest in electronics for a while as well. I have been trying to see how i can merge programming with electronics. So from my research i got to know about embedded system and vhdl as areas that are related to what i want to do. So my main aim was to get information that will guide me from this forum. How do u think i can go about this?
