Total newbie

Hi,

I'm a newbie developing a 3d game. And my target is developing an FPS. I don't code in C or C++, I use Delphi (no I don't want to use Delphi with my project). What I want to ask is:

- I'm a programmer but not a C programmer. Is it possible to use the engine without knowing C?
- I have information about multimedia technologies but I don't know where to start? Should I install a C compiler? Is there sample games? I can find only the engine...

I haven't ordered anything yet, I want to see how easy it will be first...

Thank you !!

    Bahadir,

    You don't need to know C at all in order to code a game. The background you have in coding will sufice to get you through the scripting language. You can make a complete game using the scripting which is much simpler than C.

    You don't "Need" a Compiler although later on you may want to make changes to the engine once you become more familiar with it.

    Not to sure what you meant about the Multimedia Tech but just download the demo. It has built in demos as well as a small Tutorial. Not to mention the TDN ( http://tdn.garagegames.com/wiki/&needLogin=1 ) is now open to all you can get a lot of tutorials here as well.
