I want to make a 3d game.. from scratch.
I have looked around on google and stuff but I can't find any straight-forward, beginners guide to making a game. I am learning python so obviously it will be in python, but can somebody explain to me how to MAKE the game? Like what do I have to include, what do I have to do to make 3d stuff, and you know.

It is gonna be a FPS game but I want to start off with something simple.. like pong.

And, are all games basically made the same way some are just a little more complex than others?

Thanks,

-Affrikka.

3d graphics --> openGL

check out this site for tutorials:
http://nehe.gamedev.net/

he writes all of his tutorials for C++, but if you look at the bottom of most of the pages, you can find a list of people who have ported the lesson to other languages.

learn C++ if you dont already know it. then learn open gl or a game engine. even simple 2D games can be complicated to program. 3D games are verry mathamaticly involved.
