If you just want to dip your toes into 3D game creation, then you might want to try out 3D RAD[^]. It's fairly straightforward to use and let's you create games to share with your friends for free.
If you want to program games, you could look at Microsoft XNA or you could look at something like Sandbox[^] or DarkBASIC[^].

in your opinion .... is the field of game developing :good or not::for money & future point of view ??
does it take a lot of time to be professional ??
what can i do to be excellent &Distinctive؟؟
thanks

From my POV, no. There's a massive churn of companies/developers in this field. The costs to produce games have become astronomical and require teams comparable to those making films. Pay is historically low in this field because there is such a demand to get into it that the companies do not have to pay that much.
Saying that, I have no idea where you are from, so what I consider low pay you may consider to be a fortune, so it's up to you to look into it based on your own expectations.
Games programming is a hugely complex task, so you need to have a good understanding of maths, preferably physics, etc.

ok , if u can give me advice .... for the field of programming & developing
& if I like to work at home as some of websites allow us to submit our work homely
what are the main market's demand for pragramming engineer ???????
thanks

Hi dear firend
to develop a 3D or 3D game first you need to get infortmation about "Open GL" and "Direct X" programming in your language like Visual C++ 2010.
with it you use the GPU power for your code.
take a look at www.opengl.com
good luck

As Pete had mentioned, XNA is really good to learn from. Microsoft has some good example games developed in XNA for you to look at. There are plenty of good resources on the 'net and here on Code Project for simple game development.

Great 3D physics engine that will handle drawing and everything. Great and wonderful software. Go here.

I've now released my first (within reason) game for the WP7. As Game Dev section looks a little empty thought I would show. Please forgive me if I burn your eyes, I'm no artist and I haven't even started my Uni course yet :p

My next project is going to hopefully going to be a 3D Xbox 360 game

Ok if you want technical. In my next release I am building a real time ray-tracer. I'm currently having a problem making it fire the rays in a perspective fashion other than the orthographic fashion it is. It works fine apart from the orthographic look it has :/
Main Draw Sequence:
for (int X = 0; X < Width; X++)
{
for (int Y = 0; Y < Height; Y++)
{
Ray TRay = new Ray(new V3(X - HalfWidth, 0, Y - HalfHeight) - CameraLocation, new V3((X - HalfWidth) * 3f, 100, (Y - HalfHeight) * 3f) );
foreach (SceneModel TempModel in Models)
{
foreach (Triangle TempTriangle in TempModel.Triangles)
{
Intersection TInter = TempTriangle.Intersects(TRay);
if (TInter.Hits) Temp.SetPixel(X, Y, TInter.HitColour);
else Temp.SetPixel(X, Y, BackgroundColour);
}
}
}
}
Its self explanatory.
P.S. I was merely looking for opinions and possible improvements

I'm sure, but unfortunately that is not the purpose of these forums. If you want people to review and critique your work then write an article round it and post it to the Articles section. And don't forget to read the guidelines[^] first.

This may very well be one reason why nothing is going on here. I would post something far more often on my progress and to get some opinions if I had not to figure out some important question every time.

Hi - I know. Don't ask me why! It's all I can afford right now.
However, more to the point, I've a problem that is really weird. I'm trying to attach a movie using the following code:
//this code is associated with the button:
on(press){
_root.attachMovie("MyOldMovieClip", "MyNewMovieClip"+level, level);
_root["MyNewMovieClip"]+level._x = int(Math.random() * 500);
_root["MyNewMovieClip"]+level._y = int(Math.random() * 450);
level++;
}
I've got a movie clip symbol, and a button symbol in the library. The button only is on the stage.
//This code is associated with the stage:
level = 0;
stop();
Pressing the button produces nothing. However when I run a trace i.e.
trace(int(Math.random() * 500));
random values appear.
Please put me out of my misery.

Wow, it's been a while since I used flash, sometime around when ActionScript 3 came in I think. I can't remember anymore - it's just what I've read:
Example
myButton.onPress = function () {
trace ("onPress called");
};
Got it at Adobe, right here[^].

plese tell me that how can i protect a cd so that nobody can copy the information
|
|
|
|

A couple of things.
First, this is not the forum for asking a question like this. This is the Game Development forum.
Secondly, you will never be able to completely protect a CD so that nobody can access information on it. The closest you could get is to implement a DRM system that meant that it was difficult for others to copy the information; there will always be somebody determined enough to crack the DRM and access the information. If you could come up with a foolproof system, you'll end up being very, very rich.

You can't.
You could encrypt it and then charge for a key.

Put the CD into a microwave, set the microwave to full power and then turn it on for a few seconds. Nobody will ever be able to read or copy anything from the CD.
If there is any way at all to read the data, then you can also copy it. There is no way to prevent this unless you completely destroy the CD. DRM and other protections also can't prevent that someone makes a copy. They only try to assure that the copy is worthless. Such protections can be removed, modified or tricked into allowing access to the CD, so they are also not foolproof.

Place it inside a safe that you can prevent unauthorized access to.
If the information is 'visible', it's take-able.
I've heard it said that the CIA have had devices for years that can reconstruct the contents of your PC screen simply by picking up the radiation emanating from the cable between it and your video card. They don't even have to see you or your pc visually.
Me fears you're asking the wrong kind of question entirely. You know why there aren't copies floating around the net of the software used to fly/control modern fighter planes? Simple, because access is restricted to those able to be trusted - not because there's any super-dooper copy protection scheme in place. It's a case of social engineering rather than the software kind.

maybe they have it now ... early with the crt´s it was much simpler: the radiation of the crt was readable ...
but the no such agency can even identify you by your typing rate/style.
I cannot remember: What did I before google?

NO, you can not......
