Great introductory tutorial, I hope you continue the series.

Just some minor nitpicky things:

QUOTE

You can easily change the type names by using the powerful typedef function!

-- typedef is a keyword, not a function

CODE

#ifdef _WIN32
#include <windows.h> // For Windows
#else

-- shouldn't #ifdef be #ifndef?

Also you might want to mention linker options in certain IDE's and where to get the OpenAL library for those that are just starting off.

Thanx a lot for correcting my mistakes. I'm going to prepare a lot of them. Stay tuned

Edit: Now i'm back from 48 hours of code. Loads of fun. Ok here is your answer it can't be ifndef cause we say to compiler, if the platform is win32 include windows. If you change the ifdef to ifndef it will try to include windows.h on linux too. That's why we use ifdef.

yeah in my plans there is gonna be a powerful ide for the engine and i'm still working on a java style run-time c/c++ interpreter language as the scripting language of the engine. so this means everybody will easily make games with the engine...

Hey, I have learned some of C language and decided to jump right to C++. I just started reading the book on C++ for game programming and then I will read my 2 books on OpenGL. I just want to know if you can put those tutorials 1,2,3 back up so I can download them? I really appreciate it. I just want something to try when I am done reading my book.
