R: How do I get started programming games!!!

["Riccardo Fischetti" <riccardo.fischetti@tiscalinet.it>]

hi Mohammed.
i think that you have to start from C and then use C++, because C is
basilar...
if you have a programmer experience you shouldn't have problem to coding in
C...
you need a good book or, if you can, you have to search on the web for
C-courses...is full of that!!
you have to use a DJGPP compiler....is free and is a good compiler....

x2ftp.oulu.fi    /pub/msdos/programming/djgpp2 if you want to download it!

for c...search yourself, but i think that in this site you can find what you
ask for.

when you have a bit of experience, you can find all the material you want on
how make games........
