Frankly, I am offended. I have read the aformentioned books. I have
done some graphics programming. I don't consider myself a game programmer.
(In fact I don't program or play them). I thought that the poster
wrote a very reasonable question. He had done some research and then
did the right thing... He asked the experts in the business. In reply
he got "Go away kid, you bother me." Where would you be if somebody in
the know hadn't helped you somewhere along the way. If you can't be
bothered by bright people asking questions, go start your own newsgroup
called comp.graphics.wizards or something. A newsgroup is supposed to
be for all of us isn't it?
