Need info -- want to learn BUILD

[コービン]

Hey guys,

I'm really desperate to learn BUILD. I need to know a list of utilities, books, ANYTHING, to get me started with programming this engine. I want to learn how to program/compile BUILD, I haven't had much proggy experience in the past (except with VB) so I would be very appreciative if you guys gave me a list of utlities, books, programs...everything I need to know. I want to learn BUILD over the summer, and I think it'd be a very educational and a great way to spend my time.

So can you guys help me out?

eh?

Nothing more can be found about the engine than what you can find by asking at Ken's fora...

I don't think I've ever heard of BUILD.. is that a language or an API/library/etc.?

The engine Duke Nukem, Blood, and Shadow Warrior were based off on. It's an older 1996 engine...

I wouldn't bother with it. I'd rather learn OpenGL if I were you.

Corbin, you might want to use Ryan Gordon's (icculus) port of BUILD to Windows / Linux / DOS4GW.

I tried hacking it a while ago. The code is kinda spaghettish and badly documented. I had some issues compiling the engine (Watcom / Gcc). Rendering, sound and input use SDL.

It could use an OpenGL renderer.
