I have worked with C++ and C#. I also have experience with Direct X, OpenGL and Win32.I am reevaluating my past programming history. I would like to know where should I go from here.

Make some simple video games for a while, refining them each before moving to the next. Get some critique here by posting your code when you get stuck or are near completion.

Personal life and your private thoughts always effect your career. Research is the intellectual backbone of game development and the first order. Version Control is crucial for full management of applications and software. The better the workflow pipeline, then the greater the potential output for a quality game. Completing projects is the last but finest order.

tic-tac-toe.

In time the project grows, the ignorance of its devs it shows, with many a convoluted function, it plunges into deep compunction, the price of failure is high, Washu's mirth is nigh.
