I really want to do game programing it is my dream...i know C, C++, Java, and Visual Basic. What im looking for however is a step by step tutorial on how to make a "Tetris" like game for example. Just to get my feet wet, so i can write out the code, and learn as i go along..can anyon recommend me, something along those lines? Please and thank you.. - NatureX

Do you want graphics or.....just blocks of color?(with console)
If you want real graphics, start with DirectDraw.

Sun''s site has tutorials, although I''m not sure whether a Tetris clone is included. Have you checked through the tutorials at Gamedev? I think the java stuff is usually in a separate section -- Languages, maybe?

Programming games as Java applets is fun, and pretty easy. You might try posting something in the Java forum. Good luck!

Hey, the boards are up finally. Here''s the response I wrote yesterday:

If you want to get involved in game programming, take a look here:
Hands-On Interactive Game Development

And specifically, for Tetris:
05.02 - Designing Tetris

Hope that helps. I believe Teej uses DirectX, but I haven''t really gotten into his tutorials or downloaded any of his code.
