Awesome!

Exactly what I
wanted to hear. 

Yea, I have done some Dark GDK (uses directX),
but overall I have not done very much OOP, but I have learned lots of
basic C++, and lots of other freeware hobbiest type software that
have programming concepts that will undoubtedly help. It will be 3d unless you 
recommend to do 3d, my friend wants to do 3d, I want to do whatever will help 
us the most...my friend is not easy to argue with, but I might be able to 
convince if 2d is the better way to go. I found 2 books so far that look 
worthwhile, are one of these maybe a suggestion you had in mind?

Yeah unfortunately it will take some hard work if you haven't done any (or 
much) game or graphics programming before.

You can make an engine using MSVC express, I'm doing that at the moment, so 
that's good news for you, that part is no problem.


You should start either by getting some books or by finding tutorials online.

Have you done any graphics programming before (ie even shown a triangle on the 
screen in directx or opengl)?

Also are you wanting to make a 3d game or a 2d game?


I know a few tutorials and books i could point you to but I want to get a feel 
for where you are at right now before i make any recommendations (:

Hey guys,

I am looking for what would be the best way to make a simple game engine using 
C++. Me and a few friends were going to try to make a simple engine from 
scratch, but we are now sure how to do that. If it is possible to make an 
engine with MVC++(Microsoft Visual C++ express) are there any good tutorials on 
how to? And if you can't make it with only MVC++, what is the best way of 
making one?


Thanks,
Julian
