OpenGL Game Programming, for programming 3D games in C++ and OpenGL, I have the book, and it's great.

ex,

if your brand new to programming and want to create 3d games with programming but with ease check out
darkbasic.com

It uses the language BASIC. It uses direct3d and almost everything as c++ uses, the only diffrence is that:

DB uses short codes usually one line per command
C++ uses long codes and takes lots of typing to do what db can in one code


Moral: DB is alot easier-you can get DB classic on amazon for 20.00USD and DBPRO for like 80.00........check em' out


Feel free to ask me if you have any questions.....
