What kind of training do I need to use open source programing code?

Hey I want to know what kind of training will I need to use open source code from programs like Mame or Final Burn, emulators. If the rumor of the PS3 Hard Drive coming with Linux, I want to make a emulator in which people can play 4-6 player arcade games (with legal roms of course) on a TV through a PS3. I’m currently trying to get back in school to get a degree in Infomation Systems with a consentration in software, cause I want to become a game developer, but I want to start with using open source to see if I have the goods to make a good interface.

  • gidora:

    C
    C++
    Good understanding of Unix based systems
    try this book : Unix Advanced Programming
    Linear Algebra -> in case of game and graphic programming
    Computational Geometry
    Image Proccessing -> may be better to leave it for your master degree
    Algorithms -> a lot of them!
