By the way, how exactly does one code a game? Ive been interested in this, the idea of actually making a game is really cool, although obviously very time consuming. Very impressive that one person is doing this.

well, i'm not entirely sure what programming language he's coding in, but its one that he can port to Windows, Linux, and Mac. you program a game the same way you do any other application i'd guess, but it obvioulsy involves far more work. for a racing game for example, you have to code the physics engine, graphics engine, sound engine, etc.....
recently he's just been updating the sound and graphics engines, and trying to implement AI and other things that make a game more complete.

Yeah, I kinda understand all that stuff, but I mean I have never actually seen any game coding first hand. I mean I get the basics, but If I actually wanted to code a game myself I would have no idea where to start. Have you done any?

that's what college/university programs are for ???

nope, haven't done any myself, but i'm sure it would be a very intersting thing to get into. the most programming i can do right now in Visual Basic.

Haha yeah you're probably right. I think at some universities now they actually have a degree for making computer games. Dont know what its called, though.

Racer_F50 - so it s your 308GTB :shock: The nicest car I saw in racer, very high quality

I was compaling about physics, and yes, I think with steering wheel and pedals it could be much better, but I dont want invest in it right now.

Downloading.... and maybe convert my LADA 2106 to it
