Learning game programming

robbythesub · 05-25-09, 04:14 AM

Hi Guys

Having spent many years now playing the sub sims, and trying to understand how they work, I have found this forum incredibly helpful, and also have had much help from those here who know.

With this in mind, I wonder how one gets to know about game programming such as here in SH3 / SH4, and whether someone could give me an idea how to get into it- is there a particular lline of study, or is it general programming that is needed?

Thanks!

robby, are you asking about game programming or game modding?

They're (often) quite different. You don't necessarily need to know anything about programming to do some modding (particularly in SH3/4).

Hi OLC

Thanks, and I suppose modding is what I am really interested in- I have a good understanding of computers generally and file systems, but have never done anything like this before, and I very much admire you guys who do, so would like to know more really!

Thanks
