What programming and art skills are needed to use Cipher?
In order to create games using Cipher, you will need programmers that are familiar with C or C++. Cipher itself is written in C, so C programming skills will be needed if you wish to extend or modify the core engine. Also, your programmers will need to write the code to control your games logic, such as the AI for your entities. Developers can use C or C++ for this part of the project. In addition, you will need artists to create the models and environments for your game, and the textures. Cipher has built in support for 3dsmax, but if you want to use other 3D modeling tools you may need to develop your own tools to export models and textures from them.
