I havn't read the whole thing yet, but this tutorial looks really complete and would be great for those of us that would love to know just how a game is made, or how to make our own. Heres the link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/coding4fu...nning+Game+Development:+Part+I+–+Introduction
If you really enjoyed the tutorial i would recommend buying some C++ books from say Amazon, also getting a book specialised in DX9/10 would be good way to start. Well thats what i did. Looks like a good tut some code could be wrote better, well i suppose he did it the longer way to show hows its done.
