Some questions
Hello everyone Im only been in this forum for 3 days. Im new with making games I dont know about progamming language But I will learn if is important
I asked some questions but this are more questions I have
These are some questions I have:
Why I have to learn Programming language?
What are game libraries and what it help?
If i make a 3dmodel in let say like blender(because i dont have money) now what i do with that?
Do I need to learn programming language and to use some game libraries only or more things ?

Video games are a collection of software programs. These programs need
to be written with a programming language.

A library is a collection of code and routines to accomplish a specific task.
For example, a Graphics Library can handle 2d/3d graphics for the game. We can
use this code without knowing how it works. ie, it hides the details from us.

Coinsidering you dont know programming, I highley recommend not worring
about 3d graphics, as it will be very complicated.
But to answer this question: After saving your model in a file format, you need
to either build (or get) a library codec to load the file into your game.
Then the game can use the models data.

As long as you know a programming language, you should be able to compile/link,
and be able to use the libraries.
As I previously stated, first learn a language (and master it!) before taking
the leap into game development.
Hope this helps!

Why I have to learn Programming language?
Learning a programming language can be an interesting task for many people and gives you far more control than the above solutions, but it can also be quite difficult and if it doesn't suit you it's not the only option. [smile]

Counterstrike is a poor example though as it is a dll based mod using the half-life SDK (You use a normal C++ compiler to compile the mods).
