5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Programming Kit, November 4, 2002

I bought this software with many worries. I've tried plenty of times to learn game designing but I could not take the painstaking C++ code. Well, this program was perfect. It has level and model designs that are so simple a 5 year old could do it, but at the same time are very effective. If you have any fears you won't be able to pick up, forget about them, the tutorial with the software is incredible, taking you step by step with examples on how to make good levels and models. They even give you resources for more designs to use. This software is well worth the money for a newcomer or an expert.

This is a great product for learning how to do 3D games. How ever I wou;d recomend reading sams tech your self C++ in 21 days first. Or some other C++ book. When you get more experinced you can upgrade your programs to a higher version!

I would rate this kit very worth the money. The kit helps anyone, who wants to spen the money and time to make a game from start to finish, the needed tools to do that. The software alone is worth [money].
