Brings home the bread and butter by doing business apps, but does the odd little gamedev project as a hobby.

2D Level design/editing/saving questions +1. It's a great tool. It's also open source, so you can extend it if you require. |

Directory paths for resources and assets +1, this is conceptually the same as what I'd have recommended. @The Communist Duck: the way I've done it in the past, is I had the resource manager recursively check for all filenames below the media root. This means, I phyisically could have a file boom.ogg in folder Sound, but could still load it specifying just "boom.ogg". |

Easy to use cross-platform 3D engines for C++ game development? @davr If you want a game engine, then you should mention what type of game you are looking to build (as for rendering, I too recommend Ogre3D. It's not hard at all to get started with it + it has a great, helpful community). |

Tools for creating 2d tile based maps +1. This is an excellent tool. You can write your own map exporter plugin, if you so wish, + it's open source so you can tweak it to your own/team's needs. |

How should I start playing with 3D? They are wrappers in the sense that they let you use the OpenGL/DirectX API from managed languages (which you'd otherwise need to use from C or C++ etc.). As for whether you should pick DirectX - if you plan to stick to just Windows, then DirectX might be a better choice. I chose OpenGL, and I've had no problems (and there's the benefit that your apps can be easily ported to other platforms then). If you wish to use Visual Studio, you can (with either API). |
