Help Have No Idea How To Use jpct?

[star8rock8]

I have no clue what to do. How to I get started? I wanna create a 3d game but how? Does anyone have any words of wisdom for me? What other tools or software do I need?

Have a look at the wiki. It covers basic installation questions and has an explanation of the HelloWorld-example.

What other tools or software do I need?

I would suggest checking out Blender www.blender.org . It has a bit of a learning curve (at least for me it does), but it is very powerful. What I will be using it for is making my models, and painting textures onto them. Also, with the recent release of v 2.49, painting onto textures now uses GLSL, so it is now perfect for painting textures onto models. I am actually really psyched about this.

Also, I think people use Gimp for creating textures as well.
