  1. Right, OpenGL and animation are unrelated. OpenGL is used for rendering graphics, etc. You will have to completely implement character animation which is not easy. If you want to model a character, use 3DSMax or Maya or something.
  2. C++ across the board. Java and C are also common. C# is up and coming but I doubt it will replace C++ ever. It's good for tools, not so much for the actual game.
  3. I tried sending a 110MB mp3 (80 minute mix) to a friend and it worked beautifully.
  4. Whoa, that's awesome! I'll definately have to try it out.
  5. Actually, it is a [very] small super ultra dense ball of matter. It contained all of the matter in the universe -- matter can't come out of thin air.
  6. While I personally don't like that style, it's quite clear that you are very talented. Great job!
  7. I would use flash like you said. There are TONS of tutorials online. Java would be another option but not necessarily good for beginners.
  8. I'm working at WildTangent now and our games cover a number of different genres. I'm currently doing a word game and my next game will be a tycoon style game. Ideally I'd do some arcade style game as those are by far the coolest and most fun to make. We also make racing games so that would be fun...
  9. So uploading files counts against you or just downloading via FTP?What happens when you exceed your monthly bandwidth allocation? Does your account just lock up until the next month?
  10. But that's a good reason to learn java first -- it's easier to learn programming concepts first. Then move to C++ and learn all the little idosyncricies in that. I just can't make up my mind if that's better than learning all the little things like pointers and dynamic memory first. hmmm...
  11. I'm a game programmer but have not yet been able to break into an A list game. I was working for Sierra most recently which was my big break then they shut down the studio lol. Just my luck. Now I'm back making casual games. But it's actually pretty cool because I have so much ownership and design control over everything. Plus, if the game I'm working on sucks, I'll have a new one in a few months.Our final project for one of my intro programming classes was a MUD of sorts. I think mine turned out pretty neat for not really knowing much in the way of programming.
  12. That's a hard one to answer. I learned C in programming1, and C++ in programming2 and never was taught java. I think maybe for the people with no programming experience at all, java would be a good way to start since it's a simpler and more constrained language. But I voted C just because that's how it was for me and I turned out great!
  13. What exactly is c++.net? I have never heard of such a thing.
  14. You would think that MS's driver would give you that capability. But then again, I'm not surprised. I had an older version of that keyboard with the sleep button on the right corner. My computer will not recover from sleep so that was basically a deathwish to press it. Their driver allowed me to customize all buttons EXCEPT for the sleep button. Why in the world would they overlook something like that? I tried to solve matters myself at 3am once after my cat stepped on the button and lost a few hours of work by drilling out the button. I had to buy a new keyboard after that haha.
