Hi,
so what your saying is i have to learn c++? can i opt to learn java instead and use that with directx? cuz from what ive heard learning c++ is a pain! and im wondering wether i have enough time to learn c++ as i have only 6 mths plus? and in a weeks time i have to submit my proposal and tell them which language i am planning to use..........can you please help me? i know for sure that c++ can do it, and im just worried wether i can learn c++.................or should i use java3d with directx? is it much more easier to learn compared to c++/directx?
i just want to know which would be better for me.........im speaking in terms of time contraints and learning curb as well enough resources.
Also, would such a project like this consume hardware resources and also slow down the system? how much RAM or what type of graphic card requirements do i need to have to do this project?
please help
thank you

DirectX is probably your best choice for this, in my opinion.
DirectX is not a language, it is an API -- so you will need to use a
different language in order to code it. Java3D, for example, can be used
to hook into DirectX, or OpenGL, on a Windows platform.
I would suggest C++ in order to work with DirectX. You will find
many references and sample programs out there using Visual C++ and MFC to
code for DirectX. You can even find Visual Basic examples, if you have a
death wish and want to try and do it all in VB. ;)
