You really, really need tutoring...but, at least your better than the average gamer that thinks games can be made in an instant...my brothers would've thoght that for sure if I had not become a programmer

I tried igame3d about 2 years ago when it was in alpha form. And another thing, last time I heard about the igame3d development the creator said they were having problems, such as everytime they kept coding and adding content to it they keep creating more bugs.

Maya is mainstreams gaming leading program because..

#1 It's easy to make 3D polygon objects.

#2 It can be used for keyframing animation.

#3 It is used for creating prerendered animation and real time water and hair.

Though I don't recall maya being used for creating engines and prototypes unlike blender.

As long as the book is JUST about C++ and not any windows specific stuff, yes.
if i learned C++ and openGL would i be able to make a program like lugaru using xCode??
After a few years of blood, sweat and toil.. yes.
does C++ work on xCode?
I might be going out on a limb here but.. I'm going to venture to say yes.[/quote]
