Re: SDLTutorials.com's Racing Game Competition

They may not be 'the best' SDL/C++ game development tutorials but they will certainly get you through the basics of what you are looking for.

It's official. The GTX 460 is fucking awesome. My original benchmark with the 8600 GTS was 1162 and the gameplay was rather choppy at times. With the GTX 460...

Although I'm not entirely sure yet, will wait to see what the best deal is at the time. I highly recommend the 400 series. I got mine ...
