I am just thinking that when you make your own game engine using direct x how would you build a world. It would be so hard to make a city or a room using raw directx. IS there some kind of generic world editor which can be used with directx. If i were to create a small gam engine it would have to be based on a api right. But wont that take soooo much time.

Well you uh have to ummm make your own world editor since how can their be a generic worldwide editor that would magically know what you programmed?

But you could always use other people''s engines like Genesis 3D or something that come with a level editor.

There''s no better way to learn (but yes it does take soooo much time and can really give you the sh*ts!). But it''s rewarding in the end (even if it sucks like the little one I wrote).
