You can start by doing a google search for VGA Graphics. VGA was used in most DOS games. There was one VGA graphics library that I found. But, I don't remember the website. The best way to create the graphics is to do a google for Deluxe Paint II enhanced. This program is probibally abandonware, but It was used to create the graphics for the old LucasArts games, like: Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, and other ones too.

I just want an idea of what 3D package people use the most. I'm already a Maya Person.

There is one website that I found that I would recommend If you want to learn C++, http://www.cprogramming.com/. and with Visual C++, I would only recommed the program, if you are going to be serious about programming for windows (including: win32, MFC, DirectX, OpenGL, etc), but if you're just going to be making console applications, then I would not recommed the programming language. It's not just, that I don't like it--I do--but it would be a waste of money if the only purpose of getting it is just to learn the basics or use CMD (DOS, basically).

I've done some searching around and found some great sites that will help you learn DirectX and get some free models: FlipCode - Great articles on extras for your program/game. anim8or - Freeware 3D Modeling Software. DirectX Tutorials - A tutorial page that shows you how to create a simple DirectX program 3D Cafe - Provides free resources and resource tutorials (Photoshop, 3DS Max, Maya, etc.) ...there are more pages out there, I just gave you a few to start you out! Good luck!

I'm not really sure how to make a RPG battle system. The program that I would recommend that'll help you make one, is RPG Maker 2000. Even though you may not be using the game language itself, you can reference it for when you start to make your Battle Engine. Just a thought!

I'm quite curious, what exactly is a MMORPG? I don't think anyone said what exactly it is. If it is explained then show me a quote. Because I'm a bit confused. Is it a game engine or something else.

There is a website that contains some game engines that people have written. The very cool thing about it is some of them, is that the authors allows you to use them for free: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

I have never read the books, but when I saw the movies, I was amazed with the story and the quality of the graphics. I mean If I had read the books first, I would have a better understanding of the elements contained. But that's because I never saw the extended versions of the films.

The reason that 'windows is better' is the fact that windows programming is a lot more popular and a bit easier to use (in my opinion), Even though that the OS may crash sometimes, It still is the mainframe for a lot of programs that are written today. I mean, only a few games and programs are written for Mac and Lunix, and even though they may be easier to use, or it's better looking, It is still a well structured OS. This is all based on my opinion.

For christmas, I'm getting an external sound card that supports the new Advanced EAX HD technology. That means that my video games are going to sound more realistic than my old EAX 2.0 card. It also supports 5.1 speaker. But, I'm quite happy with the 2.1 speakers that I have now.

There is a game engine that you can get for free. It's called Genesis 3D. This may not have all the advanced features that you would find in Unreal Engine, but it can be a start. The engine uses C/C++ as the language. The only downpoint to this engine is the point that you would need to pay a license fee to be able to sell it. It also includes a level creator and a model importer as well.

My favorite freeware website that includes web building tools is: http://www.snapfiles.com/freeware/freeware.html. This website includes a rating system so you would know if the program was good or not. Some of my favorite freeware programs were on this web site. Just my suggestion.

One good website that lists freeware programs in relation to website tools can be found on: http://www.snapfiles.com/freeware/freeware.html This website lists freeware programs of anything that can be freeware. There is a section called Webtools (or something similar to that), you can find a lot of free web tools.

I would have suggested the same thing. The great thing about this site--besides having freeware programs--is the ratings. It rates how good the program is. This website also helped me in finding some really good freeware programs such as PHP Designer 2005 (my 2nd favorite from FrontPage 2000) and POV-Ray.

I'm a beginner game programmer. The game programming language that I am using is DarkBASIC Professional. Even though I haven't had that much time to use it, I still thinks that it is a great language. One of these days, I will be able to start on a game project. That'll be cool!! If you ever need access to cheap game building tools then you can go to the GameCreators webpage.
