Is there a good tutorial/walkthrough/pdf explaining how to write your own? (preferred C++)

i want to start developing a game engine and thought i have a shitty render engine and i'd start the physics one to test stuff out..

opinions?

Opinions? Use a pre-existing one. It is better than yours.

If you want to make one of your own: Check out some other peoples source code for engines and see how they did it. Then make your own. (ie, see how the implementations of certain things can be done)

If you intend to use it for games: Get someone elses open engine and use that. It's likely better than yours.

cheers 3 i will look and extrapolate methods from other source codes.

I'm only doing it for fun/practice, I'm sure a pre-existing one is going to be better than mine, but niggah be trippin' if he thinks i ain't gone do it myself..

Will you release it?
And if so under what license? I prefer the Goatse Prostate License.
