Gaming
Hello all.
Well i have been coding in C++ for quite a while now and i am very good with it.
Anyway me and a few friend are interested in creating a computer game using C++ programming.
Now we have stumbled across something that we really need to know.
How exactly would we add animations (Characters) that we have made into the game .
Example: We may create a character that can shoot bullets from a gun.
Who would we add the animation og the guy walking with a gun into the coding of the game?
Thankyou

Use a graphics library like DirectX or OpenGL.

Ohh ok.
Well do you or anyone else know where to get one of those programs?

Direct X is msdn.microsoft.com/directx
(SDK = Software Development Kit [develop direct x games]
(Runtime = Allows you to play direct x games)
Open gl is http://www.opengl.org/
Note these are not programs... just a set of functions and classes that aid/enable a programmer to make game related material..
Lots of learning and programming still required..
I think there are many things out there that are more simplified.. I never used any of them.. but I'm sure someone could point you to some if yah wanted..
