How to start Game Developing?


i'm someone who is very interested in games and want to be able to make them myself. I researched some things and i've started learning c++ because i thought that would be the best language to go with...

Now like i said i've started learning c++ and by that i mean i'm reading at this point this book : -Beginning c++ through Game Programming Third Edition- but my question to you guys is, what books should i read next to be able to make games, i mean the normal c++ books (if the knowledge i have from this book , what it probarly is, isn't enought) and game developement books?

Yes i know there has been a simular question : The Definitive C++ Book Guide and List but i ask something different, these books are good for the basic c++ but i want books wich can guide me to be a game developer...


Solution

  • I think one of the best ways to learn about game development is to jump straight into a game engine. One good game engine is Unreal Engine 3. It's free for non-commercial use and there's countless resources and tutorials.

    Take a look at these links:
