3D Games in C++

[sw2k]

IS IT POSSIBLE?
and how would I be able to do it?
can someone PLEASE tell me how (or give me a tutorial)? :D

Shouldn't this be in the "Suggestions and Help" forum? :?

It won't work when I play it (even if I compile it)

 

[SSNTails]

....what?!

Use the OpenGL Tutorials on that website.

Banging out a simple game is really.. well, simple, heh... but it really really helps to know about game theory and the implementation of computer graphics.

Mmmm... matrices...

Right now I'm writing a homebrew 3d graphics API for a class.

Is it possible to create an ActiveX controll in VB for OGL?

 

[a441]

Probably, but using VB for 3D games is so garbaceous it's probably not worth it. In fact the only thing I'd recommend using VB for is quick GUI hacks, like the SRB2 netgame launcher I made.

 

[hotdog003]

What about Flash? Oh, does anyone know how to put an OCX controll in Flash?

Hmm...you ask too many questions.

 

[sw2k]

well, I don't know but.... I have Flash. it would be cool for an SRB2 Flash to appear.

 

[hotdog003]

Huh? A version of SRB2 in... Flash?
*shudders*
Actually, looking back, I see that I can't really put even a simple 3d engine in Flash, 'cause that would require over 100 calculations a seccond, and that's a little hard to swallow.

Hey, if you have a blazingly fast PC, anything's possible.

Of course, few to none of us have a PC fast enough to handle 100 calculations a second in Flash.

 

[hotdog003]

Are you being sarcastic, Arrow?
Flash actually makes the calculations about 150x slower then in C.

 

[Arrow]

Exactly. My point was that you have to have a SUPER HYPER FAST PC in order to have Flash do 100 calculations a second. By that point, C++ will be doing 10,000xsec though, so it's rather pointless to use Flash when you can use C, any way you look at it.

 

[hotdog003]

almost any way you look at it.
Flash is much esier to use, and you can put your games on the web for all to see.

 

[sw2k]

I mean an SRB2 Flash movie.

 

[JTE2]

Hmm...you ask too many questions.

...I did not say that by the way...I just changed my password today...which means...someone else on this MB knew my password X_X!

I'm hoping to learn C++ over the summer... but summer school might be in for me, damn foriegn language! If it wasn't for that I wouldn't risk summer school, and all my grades would be from 90-100. So yes I would also be in honors.

 

[a441]

Well, good luck to you.

 

[MTN889]

Thanks, I'm really gonna need it...
