East Coast Games East Coast Games is an excellent resource for game programmers and people who want to become game programmers. Global Majic Software - 3DLinx 3DLinX is a revolution in 3D software application development. The 3DLinX programming environment is the first to bring easy to program, realistic 3D applications to the Windows PC platform. 3DLinX is easy to use and reduces typical 3D application development time by over 80%. By encapsulating numerous complex concepts such as graphics APIs, scene graph management, view culling, collision detection, 3DLinX eliminates the majority of the learning curve traditionally necessary for developing 3D applications and allows developers to spend more time on creating their application, and less time on how to program it.
