My attempt to get some home coding done this week met extremely limited success, with preparations to code completed, but no code written.

Tuesday I got eclipse set up, my subversion repository working and the two linked after much consternation and got the JAVA opengl libraries set up and ready to play with. Wednesday I didn't do anything for other reasons, though I discovered that the local book store no longer carries references for opengl, and today I am sick. Meh, may have to look into java color console libraries to mimic curses if I can't get figure out opengl.

I am going to learn SDL. This I have decided. It's time for me to learn how to do more than make console applications.

I also need to learn the X11 API.

What language am I? Perl, of course.

As for what language I program in, C++, for what I have in mind.

You can take the middle ground and get Visual Studio Express for c++, it will allow you to try out winforms, a bit of a step up from consoles.

I found these invaluable for learning SDL.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

@Max: I use Linux, so I'll be using the X11 IDE. I may play around with QT, also.

@kaijyuu: Thanks for the link, I'll check it out.

I prefer  http://sites.google.com/site/sdlgamer/beginner/lesson-1   for sdl tutorials, lazyfoo throws too much at you too fast and doesn't explain enough of it,  but even the site I linked is lacking on clarification, I had to often consult sdl documentation to get answers, and for definate descriptions of bits of code.   I plan on writing a series of sdl tutorials after I finish writing c++ tuts

Although I did end up using a combination of both sites, they both have good points on different things, but both are severely lacking

Why do I like programming again? Either you're doing dumb gettingsetting/treetraversal/updateschemes/administration, and when you get to the awesome parts, they're so fucking complicated I tend to brood on them for days (nay, weeks) and then decide my previous code need rewriting, or I need a different library, or render engine, or everything has become so convoluted it needs a rebuild from scratch...

I have NOTHING on my screen, and I've been working on this project for YEARS.  :-\
I am the most unproductive man alive. Where did it go wrong?

I am somewhat in the same boat. My personal projects never get anywhere.

Even worse, it's the same project. Moved from glut to pure opengl to SDL to SFML and now to Ogre3D, and I'm almost done with the paged-world-LOD-rendering part. It's supposed to be able to render very complex and humongous worlds, but how do I generate one?!

It needs to be 3d (so no heightmap, heightmapped terrain is fucking lame), and have "insides", so that if I dig down, I see layers of different soil types (that need to be generated) with different textures (that need to be generated although I already made a granite-like-generator using a simple noise). The parts are there, but I've not been able to bring it all together...
And actually simulating a planet from birth till now is... 5 more years of work (I code 1-2 evenings a week, when I'm on a roll, and then leave it alone for weeks some times).

Even Toady uses a height map for his complex 3d terrain with volume and internal structure.

Perlin noise is a 3d structure and might be a good starting point.

As for geologic simulation? That is a huge, massive undertaking. I've bumped into similar problems trying to evolve stars from from a starting mass, density and metalicity through their natural life cycle.
