I think many people (myself included) spent ages recreating Nehe's rotating cubes and then calling it a day. It was fun, but looking back I wish there were more sources for learning actual game design.

Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure there were. I probably just wasn't looking in the right places.

I don't know. I think a lot of us take for granted the amount of high-quality digitized information that's network accessible now.

Before book scanners, before digital publishing, I remember everything on the internet having to have been created specifically for the internet. Remember the "amazing" early digital scanner / cameras? I remember seeing my first scan (I think it was of a wine bottle label, oddly enough) and thinking "Wow, that's something from the real world!"
