The original DirectX, sucked. but, Microsoft listened to developers and made it into something that developers prefer, it's much nicer and anything professional written for the PC is made in DirectX. There are versions of these games made using OpenGL, World of Warcraft actually has an OpenGL mode you can use instead which allows you to run the game under Linux using Wine. But if you want to be something more than an amateur and get serious, you need to learn DirectX. Anyhow, nice work!
Yeah, I guess that WOULD explain why Crysis, Crysis2, World of Warcraft. Starcraft,... every other PC game made in the last 10 years are made in openGl.
@UnresolvedExternal i was simply referring to simplicity of the openGL - open Graphics Library , not actual game content made with direct3d or referred to as directx.
openGL is dying slowly and more slowly because of Microsoft's "anti campaign" against openGL.
Obviously directx is a more up to date Graphics API then OpenGL.Which means it has more maintenance then openGL which = "Better Graphics API" So commonly said.I myself have made numorous game engines in directx.Hence directx "is better".
@UnresolvedExternal thats beause microsoft is more popular???? and the REAL good programms like cinema 4d, blender, pixars animation software or whatever is mad in opengl. and the most players are using windows so...
@DeKugelschieber I've been working with XNA making directx based games, it's incredibly easy. Sure C# is slower than C++, but when you can put out a game in 1/2 the time, it makes up for it.
@foulplay2 i agree to a certain point. the XNA runtime has to be installed on any computer you want toplay your game on. while both openGL and DirectX are on just about every computer out there. C++ and C are standards on just about all computers. I only use XNA for Xbox development. so i can sell games. but like i said. there is no BEST way. just preferences. i like to be able to run my games of a flash drive without installing. that way you can play were you are not administrator.
World of Warcraft was coded in OpenGL but defaults to D3D in Windows. Same for Warcraft 3. Doom 3 was coded in OPenGL and Rage and Doom 4 will also be coded in OpenGL.
@UnresolvedExternal Well...just for the record, World of Warcraft, StarCraft 2 and all other Blizzard games support OpenGL. Any game that is playable on a Mac or Linux OS natively uses OpenGL because DirectX is only available on Microsoft platforms.
I wouldn't say one is really better than the other. They do the exact same thing in slightly different ways. I hear ATI cards have bad driver support for OpenGL, though.
@UnresolvedExternal Fool! The graphics API has nothing to do with the gameplay. Opengl is still used on professional software, minecraft, quake, doom, Playstation and nintendo.
@dying2l BTW, Both Sony and Nintendo use there own proprietary library for there own consoles. Not opengl, ps3 uses libgcm. Which is much lower level and is built exclusively for cell processors. Nintendo has there own library I'm not real sure what its called though. Both of these api are very similar to opengl in style but not functionality. Both of these apis need input, networking, sound or what not. OpenGL is only a graphic api. Oh btw nice little game.
@UnresolvedExternal Actually, World of Wacraft has support for OpenGL, it's just set to Direct3D by default. And OpenGL isn't just used in games: Adobe After Effects, 3D Studio Max, Google Earth, etc. However, for raw performance Direct3D is just better ATM. Not because Direct3D is so good, it's because OpenGL kind of screwed up when they had the chance. OpenGL will be better, one day. One day.

@UnresolvedExternal There are four games in the last 10 years, that run in opengl. DooM3, Quake 4, Prey and Wolfenstein 2009. All of them using idtech 4 engine.
@xzaz2 Oh absolutely. I am reading Code Complete ed2 right now, which was printed and published by microsoft. They have fantastic books and a nice IDE-but that doesn't mean that their API is any better then OpenGL.
Nice game! I would like to see the haters code a game in c++ like this!!! still figuring out Directx myself... Do you do any similar stuff with OpenGL?? If you do I would love to see the source code, trying to write apps for Android at the momment so this would be a big help.
I have been getting alot of requests for the source code of this program. I formatted my hard drive and no longer have it. I am sorry. But I will post source code for any future projects on rapidshare or something, I am working on a few.
Looks great, too bad it doesn't have sound :-( Could you post the game + source code somewhere? I am a beginner at C++ and DirectX and I really want to make games like this^.^ Great work still, maybe make a longer vid to really see the game more clear?
Looks great, too bad it doesn't have sound :-( Could you post the game + source code somewhere? I am a beginner at C++ and DirectX and I really want to make games like this^.^ Great work still, maybe make a longer vid to really see the game more clear?
Could you upload the source please? I'm thinkin about learning DX.. Im actually using XNA and C#, but I learned C++ a few years ago. Thanks and greetings from the south of Germany :)
I'm creating a similar game in Java - my main problem is creating images for the game. Obviously the lasers and whatnot would simply be drawn by the program.
hi awesome game... could you send me the source code, I'm trying to make a similar game but I can't get some of the things to work, so looking at a working one would help me alot... :D thx
I'm still learning C++ (currently learning about classes); but I can tell this took a lot of effort to code, and look how it turned out! You should be proud of yourself. :)
Can't wait to learn the language myself and have a go at DirectX. :3
Nice game, i hate those friggin noobs who make a sick 3d game and say it is their first time just to here people say how good they are. Im still tryin to learn how to program, the most i can do in digital arts is making 3d models.
you are one of the dumbest fucks I've seen comment on youtube. You probably have no idea how much work goes into a game as simple as this. c++ is not an easy language to learn. then comes the maths for making the game. let's see you make something better than this using c++ you dumb fucking noob.
Wow looks really cool! I wish I could make a game like this, but i'm still trying to learn DirectX... It would be cool if you could upload the source. =)
In my honest opinion, OpenGL or SDL is a better choice for the beginner, well never really tried direct x... Because I dont like windows as much, Im using linux
But you're forgetting that Windows... really IS where the games market is at. I mean, sure. There might be some games market on linux, but if you want to program games, then you might as well use windows. Also, openGL is great for presentations, but having used it personally, I'd have to say that for making games, XNA is much better than openGL, and DirectX is great if you have some experience in either. SDL I haven't personally used, but it looks kind of weak from videos I have seen of it.
hey, it doesn't look crappy at all .. nice job , i'm very interested in game programing .. how much time do i have to spend learning DirectX to make a game like this? .. thanks
Perhaps. But if there is one thing I am assured of, it's that I'm not too stupid to know how to spell, as in, the case above. But just for your reference, so that you can look like less of an idiot.
Ive is spelled I've
lil is spelled "little"
u = "you"
You should consider re-taking first grade English, there are a couple of basics covered there you seem to be lacking.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
you atualy think I dont know how to spell that shit?? your fucking stupid! I need to write it quick because your not worth writing how its spelled correctly! only thousands of youtubers do it you fucking retard,grow a dick and come into the real world and have a look you fucking homo
Not Really. If you don't use DirectX, openGl, Windows API, Torc, SDL, or Allegro. You will probably find it extremely difficult to get graphics going.
For your first question, DirectX simply provides a simple way to interact with hardware on your computer such as mouse,keyboard, and Video(graphics) and audio cards etc...
It is possible to "have" graphics without these libraries, but it takes lots of coding to create a driver and all that stuff...
Sure, I put it on planet source code. Just search for "Generic Space Shooter" You will find LOTS and LOTS LOTS LOTS of free C++ source code on that site.
Its not crappy at all! you got a nice project going =] if i were you i'd build up on it, and polish it off =]
I wanna make this kind of stuff, i know C++ (not all of it tho,feel like jumping into a project and learning by making a tonn of mistakes and correcting them). I wanna make a simple 3D 'engine', which should i use in-conjunction with C++, OpenGL or DirectX?
Oh! COOL!!! XD hah I'm getting that book in like 20 days heh! XD right now im on basics, its a book called: Beginning C++ through game programming second edition! they're from the same brand or something like that i think!
Man sorry to bother you again.. But since im reading C++... and the book you told me is in C... did you learn C a lot first? did you read another book before that one?
Everything that you can do in C, you can do in C++, but NOT vice-versa. Learn C++, because if you learn C++, then you have also learned C. C can be directly typed into C++, and it will compile and work fine. Message me if you have any C++ questions.

just int Students[100];
or when you learn classes.
Student myStudents[100]; and then you can say myStudents[0].Name = "John" or something
