My C++/Opengl First Person Shooter.
#1 Ideal: Do everything first that will make the came playable. Skip everything that isn't necessary to creating a playable game, then go back and sophisticate & add things.

Working on Triangle/Ray Intersection.
http://codepad.org/kBhyNy6m
http://codepad.org/5Yph3DcR
http://codepad.org/x1BAJCEn
For drawing 3d graphs by hand
search perspective projection
and also isometric graphics
Got Moller's Triangle Intersection code working. Now need to get rid of the #define in it and replace with functions. And test with OpenGL between basic triangle and ray..so I can see what is going on.

C++ Rule: #1
Headers in the C++ Standard have no .h extension (<iostream>, <cstring>). Use these instead of proprietary/old headers (<iostream.h>) and the C Standard headers (<string.h>) which were brought in for backwards compatibility. See http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/coding-standards.html#faq-27.4
C++ Rule: #2
STL is the original, informal name for what would become the Standard C++ Library. STL refers to standard template library, which is the default library provided. this library is given under the std namespace, short for "standard"

IRC Channels I Like
11/22/10
FPS plan (1)
1) Just use basic skybox with textures
2) Use heighmap/VBO code I've already developed
3) Learn kd-trees for collisions (just try ray-triangle collision detection first, see if runnable, nehe)
4) 1 gun (single shot)
5) Shoot
6) Enemy, AI (FSM, basic as possible at first) (but eventually want to make this as sophisticated as possible)
7) GUI (do later)
8) Weapon respawn (do later)
9) Change weapons, reload, pick up ammo, etc (do later)
10) Blood (do later)
11) Post-game stats (do later)
12) HUD (do later)
13) Class hierarchy
14) Don't worry about gfx or sfx yet
15) Player respawn (do later)
16) Enemies start as blocks
17) Animation (do much later)
18) Jump (do later)
Also, found and printed a lot of great articles at http://www.devmaster.net/articles.php
Do this dev blog in the opposite direction as the one for silent threat. newest = first.
