My problem is that i never made a game before, I program in C# and I want to go to a higher level = “game programming”.
When writing this, I’ve just bought a book about game programming. Now I want to make a list of features of the game. Yeah. I know I need to start with a game like Tetris, and then 2d. and so on. But after that I want to make a race game. I thought I cannot start early enough. :)

I have strange problems with making a “game document”. Because I never say it. Also I want to see some “notes” people write. Is it like:
Weather:
*Snow
*Rain
enz

Perhaps one of you guys want to show one of his/hers “Game Documents”. :tongue:
