Planet Chili

Hello everybody, I am 14 years old and I want to be a game programmer when I grow up. I already know the C++ language and I am beginning to learn to use the Chili Framework to actually program game mechanics. Later I plan to make the framework myself and I can begin to make the demos that game compa...

After learning enough about game programming, you will require quite a few years to code a fully-functional 3d fps and by then, your game will be severely outdated. If you don't want to join the gaming industry(because pretty much all g...
