Hello all Developers/want-to-be-developers,
Quite simply, this is a thread where one can post how they got into the game development industry, how they cut their teeth in learning to be a developer(for example, from who/what you learned DirectX), and what their goals as a developer have been.
ok,with me:
I dont plan on being a prof. game developer, I am mainly more of a hobbyist. Therefore, I really dont have that much interaction with the game development community, atleast not as much as I would want. I have been a programmer for under 2 years, and during that time I have tought myself C/C++/PERL/PHP and the OpenGL and Win32 APIs. I am currently working on learning DirectX, but I am mainly focusing on getting linux programming skills under my belt as I love the open-source community. My goals as a Hobbyist mainly have been to learn as much as I can about a broad subject, and to improve my math skills, as well as push the boundries of hardware(although so far, not in the way I would like,i.e. memory overflows).
