Well, I started out reading a book called "Beginning C++ game programming " That book is mostly based on text rpg games, but it doesnt connect the consepsts on how it would all work. It gives an example of a menu and then a little code example but it doesnt really show how would u select an option and make the option that you have selected active. Well, It's meant 2 show just little bits of it, But im lookin for a book that lets me go in to the 3d world of game development and that focuses on charecter movemnet, menus and has everything connected, even if its a book on how 2 make a simple 3d adventure game that would be helpful it will help me understand more on how 2 have everything developmet, I can program a Tic Tac Toe Game :-) in 2 hours, but again its a text version. The book im talkin bout is some wat based on "Game Programming for Teens" But thats in BASIC I want in C++ ( at the end of the book or almost it goes thru steps by steps and develops the game) Any Ideas? that would be helpful

Ok, have you even grasped the 2D concepts of game programming? If you haven't, I 'd suggest you do so, or you'll be in stuff way above your head. If you still wont' take my advice, Tricks of the 3D Game Programming Gurus is pretty good at telling you how everythign should work in 3D. BTW, menu's are not something that are 3D...menus are 2D..

any suggestions on books tho? no, actualy 2 start out with 2d games would be a great leap from text 2 graphics any ideas on what books not internet. Hmm is there a way that i can connect direct X images with the C++ programing?
