LEARNING PROGRAMMING AND GAME DESIGN

Interesting collection of links about video game history

Nintendarea

A group of friends, a group of maniacs... Nintendo maniacs... They hate Sony, its multimedia consoles and its adepts and don't tolerate Microsoft and its ring of death machine, but they are very humoristic, funny, always ready to publish good news from old good mother Nintendo.

Mastro Pero

A good friend and probably one of the best hand I've ever seen drawing something. Pay attention I'll brougth you inside world of Mauro Perini.

Frantoio Design

The website of one of my best friends. He's a good designer and an hard worker, but probably the first thing that you'll notice about him will be his silent laugh ^__^

Johnny Chung Lee

Probably one of the biggest brain of this century secured in the body of a young guy, caugth from Microsoft in these days... So we'll have new exciting experiences for us ^__^

GameFaqs

When you're playing with a game and you are not able to solve an enigma or to pass a stage (and no, you can't skip the chapter like in Alone in the Dark) and you don't feel any emotion in solve it by yourself you could use this website that will find a solution, a cheat or something else for you.

Image After

Do you need a texture and you don't want to wait an artist or you don't have money to pay him?! Don't worry... This website is waiting only you ^__^

Turbo Squid

Do you need a 3d model (in different formats) and you don't want to wait an artist or you don't have money to pay him?! Or do you need a 3d model but you've no time to do it and you're able to pay it?! Don't worry... This website is waiting only you ^__^

Forum Nokia

Probably if you've already started to put your hands inside SymbianOS C++ programming or if you are working on a JME project you've already discovered this website, but the one that Nokia propose to its developers is full of documents, specifications, examples and tutorials. Try it.

NVIDIA Developer Zone

Probably if you've already started to put your hands inside DirectX or OpenGL and you like graphics and you've thought to put some aestetical embellishment inside your project you've already discovered this website, but the one that NVIDIA propose to game developers is one of the best organized and managed that I've ever used. Try it.

NeHe Productions

A useful website if you plan to start to study OpenGL. There are a lot of tutorials, articles, links, references and examples.

GameDev.net

This website is something like a father for me in term of game development. It's an incredible wide community exchanging knowledge and source code on programming and game development topics. I'd like to come back to write something on it when I'll have two minutes - like when I was young ^__^

Gamasutra

Well... I think that if you have never visited this website... you should do it ^__^
