Are you interested in the graphics (how to render 3d, opengl/directx, shaders etc), in the “game engine” aspect (all of the various parts of a game coming together), game design, networking, or something else? All of it?
As people used to say on stack overflow - what have you tried so far?
Also - this might be a good starting point: https://www.gameenginebook.com/
- i have started brushing my c++ and learning 3d math for now
- i am interested to know for starters what does the 10000 ft landscape look like
- what are the major steps involved?
- what have I tried? I spent a lot of time looking into what kind of libraries exist. Rust has something called bevy which I would not touch given it is new and I dont want to work with double unknowns
- C++ has a library called raylib that seems to have a lot of functions for basic stuff.
- There seems to be a library called jolt which claims to handle physics well
- how is rendering / graphics pipeline stuff handled in c++. what libraries do we have for loading models, working with shaders, handling networking for gaming etc?
- the thing is i need to get a complete picture inside my head of how a 3d game is put together like how this https://visualrambling.space/neural-network/ gives you the picture you need to understand how a neural network works
