I'm lately interested in programming and game development but I just know the basics of prgramming and developing (my prefered language is VB6 and VB.NET as they are easy to learn). I want to make a simple 3D game like an FPS (first person shooter) but I do not have the knowledge. I think that by programming my favourite things it lets me learn programming easily as I'm doing the thing with pleasure. Any ideas of where I can learn how to program a 3D FPS and what free graphical programs to use(except Blender or somethign difficult to use :) ) ? N.B. = I don't want to find a source code and edit a game (since that is easy to find and I wouldn't learn a thing) I just want to find a tutorial on how to do one. Thank You in advance.

blivori, I know you mentioned VB6/VB.NET as your language of choice to to your development level, but since you're just starting out, you might want to consider C#. I've seen at the local book stores a book on C# Game Programming (also available on Amazon) and came across this link a while ago: http://www.microsoft.com/events/series/m... It is a number of free webcast tutorials that combined with the free Visual Studio C# Express can give you an introduction to where you're trying to go. I hope this helps, and have fun with your new adventure! Take care, ric

And what Game Engines and 3D modelling software (all free and easy to use) should I use that allow me to publish the game freely without hesitation?

That I couldn't lend any advice on...I'm sorry. I think the C# stuff talks about modeling directly in C#, but I'm not sure. Ric

Once, when I was thinking of getting into game programming as well, a friend of mine who works as a game developer recommended Blitz (http://www.blitzbasic.com/Products/blitz...) as a very powerful language and very easy-to-learn. I think that would be much easier for you than beginning game programming in C#. It's not free though, costs 60-80$ depending on which package you choose, but it might be worth it.

VB isnt too bad to start with I guess, they would be very simple games mind you. To help you get started, probably non vb way, have a look at Unity http://unity3d.com/examples/ There is a tutorial for FPS There is also this to help you get started as well - http://www.klinksoftware.com/ If you wanted to use .net (VB Express) then check out coding4fun from Microsoft http://blogs.msdn.com/coding4fun/archive... the first paragraph from this is Welcome to the Upgrade Your Game series of tutorials. There are four tutorials, each covering how to write a simple computer game using Visual Studio Express products. Though the games are simple, each one teaches some game development techniques and builds on the last to improve your skills. The skills can be applied to more complex games including 3D games using Microsoft DirectX.
