How to make a game

[unmerged(4679)]

I'm just curious, what language do you use when making a game? Is it possible to see a function or two from EU II?

You mean the language Beta is in? English, as you can see on screenies à

Nah, he means C++, which is what I assume it is written in.

Isn't is difficult to make advanced graphic programs in C++?

C++ isn't an easy programming language. But also you have to know something about DirectX, because that is the way games like EU program their graphics and sound.

Any tips how you can become a game programmer if you are an experienced C++ programmer already (books, sites,...)?

I never worked with directX, so I don't know which books or sites are the best. There are lots of C++-sites and books about directX.
One way of learning is reading much about it, looking at some example-program and trying to make a simple game.
