Woop?
Here's a cool DOS game tutorial/code page:

I would've loved that tutorial if...if I had Windows lol.

An obvious one:
http://www.gpwiki.org
It's a Game Programming Wiki. (You guessed that because it has wiki in the address, right?)
Egypt Game Developers , Yahoo mail group
groups.yahoo.com/group/EgyptGameDevelopers
there are books and games with source in the files section.
Suprised this never made any list:

I am just learning to do some gaming programming and found http://lazyfooproductions.com/SDL_tutorials/index.php to be very helpful in learning a lot of the things that are needed to do the graphics, sound and controll portions in SDL . I haven't made it through all the of the tutorials, but I would recommend it.
out of 100's that i have looked over there is not one that i would recomend because everone who writes a tutorial learns by text and i don't.

Tons of links to other sites:
http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/.../gameprog.html
And for terrain:
www.vterrain.org
http://tassadar.physics.auth.gr/~cha...php?key=opengl
This site has many free game programming books availible for download. The reason that they are free is most likely because the books are slightly dated (ie 2003 instead of 2006).
The site doesn't just have game programming books, though. It has many other categories too, like php, html, css, regular C++, and much, much, more.....
You use cygwin? You have a problem compiling Nehe's opengl tutorial?
Nehe suggests to use VC++ to follow his tutorial but I searched everywhere for a way to compile it under cygwin when I came up with a solution:
Step1: Make sure you installed the right packages
cygwin has a nice collection of packages you can install and add with nothing but a click. Make sure you have the "opengl: OpenGL -related libraries" checked.
Step2: Make sure you have the opengl dll files in your windows\system32 folder
glut32.dll glu32.dll opengl32.dll or other appropriate ones when you make use of them.
Step3: Nehe's tutorials include an old library - The GLaux Library, which apparently is not supported anymore. An easy fix would be to comment out or delete the current including of the glaux header file and include the GLUT library instead:
#include <gl\glut.h>
Step4: Now to compile it under cygwin we will use the line:
where myprog is the file you saved the tutorial on. -mwindwos lets you have the standard libs linked in; -mno-cygwin lets your program run outside of cygwin environment; the -lglut32 -lglu32 -lopengl32 make sure your program links the dlls.Code:g++ -mwindows -mno-cygwin -o myprog.exe myprog.cpp -lglut32 -lglu32 -lopengl32
Thats it.
Disclaimer: I am merely a beginner - this short solution may not work for you, but I think it should. Anyway hope this helps anyone out there.
Just one thing to add: at the bottom of the link you gave you can download the cygwin source code:Originally Posted by glo
