ok just a quick question :D

how long does it approximately take to learn c++ programming for a 15 yr old (i have little to nothing knowledge of c++)? enough to make a decent playable 2d or 3d game?

[XxDahamonnahxX]

Ok Thank you for your help. :P

[dellspyjavid]

@XxDahamonnahxX you are welcome. a

[XxDahamonnahxX]

what about opengl?

some people say its better than DirectX?

[dellspyjavid]

@XxDahamonnahxX nope Compare them you will see the difference! most of popular games are written in Havok like Resident Evil 5 which is i am huge fan ! havok derived from Directx go to google and search for download directx sdk sdk pack contains examples try them yourself. . .

what does irrlicht exactly do?

can i use it with another ide?

(sry im rly a noob at c++ :P)

[dellspyjavid]

@XxDahamonnahxX hi, Irrlicht is a game programming engine. you can write 3D video games and only available for C++.

[XxDahamonnahxX]

@dellspyjavid can it render high poly models and other aesthetically pleasing properties?

is it powerful?

is there any substitute

excuse the question im just a learner after all :P

[dellspyjavid]

@XxDahamonnahxX well actually irr did not thrilled me at all. it's not fast at loading 3D meshes, for beginners it's recommended to understand the concept of 3D programming. but if you are looking for something powerful try Havok engine it's free for non-commercial use or try Directx SDK it's really powerful. . .
