This thread is for links to programs with the sole purpose of editing(maybe even creating) audio and sound and various computer coding resources. For the most part, if you need sound effects in the first place, you can create them by recording sounds with a microphone then using and/or editing them.

Also! I suggest that if you do use a website that provides royalty free sounds, that you make sure to read the terms and make sure it is legal to use those sounds for TDL and/or your own projects.[i][b]

Scripting Languages
While there are many scripting languages, some are for specific uses, such as information libraries. I suggest you look into all of them and pick the one that most interests you if you already haven't. Also, if you are looking into coding for gaming, you will have to learn a lot about your code of choice, there aren't just specific sections in coding in many languages.

Some coding languages will require a compiler, or a program that takes what you coded and creates it into a executable file, configuration, reference, ect ect. While other languages you will just be able to write in, say, notepad then just save the file with a extension at the end of its name.

Now the maths side of coding. A good site to check out is khan academy (Free videos teaching you stuff)
http://www.khanacademy.org/
Trigonometry (Do everything)
Physics (For Physics you don't need to do the electricity and on, just the motion would do)

Remember, get a book and write notes. You learn approximately 10% what you hear, 10% what you write. Then go teach a sibling/parent, even if they barely listen it can still help as you learn approximately 80% what you teach.

Woah. I just googled not 2 minutes before reading this "Program for 3D modeling" and I found Blender. Downloading now. What timing haha. Never tried modeling.... going to give it a go.

Pretty helpful. Some inaccuracies, but nothing that would stop anyone from making models.

Ogre does use C++, yes. Our scripting language might be something else, when we get one. (No scripting available yet for you guys.)

I'll sticky this.

Yeah Blender's site is great. There are a bunch of tutorials on various topics scattered around the web and especially on Youtube. It isn't too hard to get started, but taking full advantage of all the tools will require some more experience.

I messed around with it a year ago and ended up making an object which faintly resembled a car which could move around and push blocks with simple physics. It was pretty crappy, but it was a start. (Then they came out with a completely new interface and I forgot everything I learned)

We have the polygon limits for models but what is the limit on texture/normal/specular map sizes? I know they have to be in powers of 2, ie 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024... But what is the upper limit for different model sizes (would a small knife be limited to 512x512 while a shotgun could be 1024x1024)?

Also if it is, for example 1024x1024 could we use 512x2048 (same pixel count) for easier texturing of longer models?

Also, I was wondering if anybody could help me find a really good C# scripting tutorial? Mainly directed towards game creation. Possibly with the bonus of it teaching through unity. (Need something to help out in my current class)
