Yeah, I'm thinking maybe this book would be a good one to buy just so I can get a better idea of all the tools out there. > Most books don't really take you through the process of a game, but > "Game Architecture and Design" is a nice read that takes you through the > design process in a way that will make you organized.

It just so happens that I want to use the knowledge I gain to write a game. > As far as walking you through from start to finish, Gamedev.net is your > best bet.

Since the game I want to write has quite a few features of a roguelike game, I've been lurking at rec.games.roguelike.development too. -- Jason Stechschulte [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ypisco.com -- Academicians care, that's who. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
