I'm developing my "game engine" for over 2 years. 9 complete rewrite and 3 language change (c#->java->c++) but I love doing it. It's an amazing experience :D

    Sounds amazing, how did you start?
    Any reading material?

    @zombie01 i looked up the basics mainly from YouTube (namely: TheChernoProject, ThinMatrix). I read one book: Learning Modern 3D Graphics Programming by Jason L. McKesson

    @doofy What library are you using for getting your input and display context? Is this a 2D or 3D engine? Will you be using a scripting language?

    @lisper so true. Such a great way to learn -- I do it too.

    @capnsoup I'm using GLFW for the window and input management. It will be a 3D engine with 2D support. And yes, at the end I will add scripting api (maybe js)

    And there will be an API for the editor as well because my friend is making the editor in C#

    @doofy Hmm. Since it sounds like you haven't nailed the scripting language down yet rather than JS I'd suggest you use something lightweight like Angelscript or Lua.

    Good luck!
