				| 
 |  
				| Hello everybody. I've been learning C++ for a while now and decided to start learn how to make simple  3D games with C++. I know that the best games made with C++ are made using DirectX and OpenGL but i prefer making simple games that i can do alone, not with a team. I found that DarkGDK is very easy to learn too. 
 So what do you suggest? Should i learn DarkGDK or something else and remember that im not interested in making complicated games, just simple jump games. Thanks for any help.
 
 
 P.S
 
 Please do not comment anything like " N00b DARKGDK SUCKSSS" and so on i know that it isn't the best but still it's good for simple games.

				| DarkGDK is alright... It depends on what kind of game are you making like... 2D or 3D, because DarkGDK isn't great with 2D games. |  |

				| Ogre 3D is a free 3D engine for C++. I've never tried it but I heard it's pretty good. I did have a look at some example code though, and it seemed pretty easy to use. |  |

 Yep, hes right for once.
 And i wouldn't suggest him using ogre yet if he just wants to make simple games.

				| If your new, go with the Irrlicht engine. I learnt with this engine, and it's much simpler compared to everything else I've seen. |  |

				| Mod an existing engine, like Unreal, or Source. 
 Hell, even all the Quake engines are open source if you really want to blow your mind.
