Aw I'm suprised at the positive responses.. perhaps the religion
groups naturally attract much more.. shall we say the very simple
word: "angry" people? Anyways I've been doing alot of looking while
waiting for responses.. it seems that my lack of understanding comes
from my lack of know anything about hardware. I'm assuming (from the
brief glances in my rushed research) that a video card is much more
than another device to produce heat in your computer? Unreal
Tournament uses OpenGL so I'm guessing thats the "platform" R. H. was
talking about? I do believe I'm quite more interesting in creating my
own graphics engine rather than game now that I'm narrowing down my
goal.
Personal info if it helps: My long term goal is to make a career out
of this, and Im just beginning to narrow down my major in college and
I need to pick between my new-found love for animation, or my
naturally quick learning for scripting. My short term goal is to have
an idea of what I want, and to create something (thus graphics engine,
or previous to the replies a game) just to prove to myself i can do
it, not for money.
Anyway thankyou for the help. I'll be more open to critisizm when
outside of religions forums, but I'm still keeping my guard up when
touching anything involving them, learning or not.
