Thread: What Now?

I've been learning C++ and OpenGL for a while, and i've tried everything from making a mere tictactoe game to building a full 3D game engine! I seem to luck experience on memory manipulation, file load and save ( BPM, TGA, PNG, JPG etc ), and use of DirectX though! So, what's next? What do you propose me to do?

I think you answered your own question, don't you agree?

Have you programmed any shaders, eg, with glsl, or do you use all "fixed pipeline" functionality? You know shaders are a must for iphone programming, etc (*I think*), and the ARB has depreciated all fixed pipeline functions in GL 3.2.

Pretty sure you could spend a good decade studying 3D techniques and still not cover it all, even just sticking to one library.

Yeah, i guess i did. But besides studying, do you have any idea of a game for me to build? I'm really bored and i want to do something!!!

Try a simple 2D sidescroller. It will get your feet wet.

When you say sidescroller, what do you mean? Something like Wario, Mario etc?

Pretty sure he is referring to this:

I said the same thing! Well, i guess this shouldn't be very difficult!
