Can any of you guys point me to a good game development site? I'm a first time programer and need a good rundown on what order games are developed in. So far I've started with learning OpenGL ES /*perhaps I should be focusing on Obj-C LOL*/ and found it to be moderately easy to grasp. But my biggest problem is I don't know where I should start, what files go where and how they work collectively. Also, will using a game engine be any help (e.g. Save time and reduce programing that I have to do). Well, thank you guys for any help.
+1 Just make sure you have a look around what's on the site first before asking too many questions - lots of beginner questions have been answered before. Also, to search use Google like this: "what you are searching for" site:idevgames.com instead of the idevgames forum search.
a couple interesting discussions going on over at neogaf - probably goes without saying, but in case you live under a rock beneath the ocean floor.. iPhone Development Discussion http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=353328 Building an iPhone game from the ground up. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=365044 this stuff is maybe a little more general than what you were thinking, but good reading nonetheless.
