Hi sightless.

I took the liberty of moving this topic sinse it is game related and so belongs in general game discussion.

Well I have some bad news and some good news.

The bad news is, there are no university or college courses on audio game developement or design. The general mainstream gaming industry and insttitutions take litle notice that audio games exist, which goes for education as well.

The best you can do is get some general courses on programming and software design, and then do projects on creating audio games, but even there most of the work in actually learning techniques for creating the game as opposed to general programming stuff will be your own rather than taught on the course, and you'll probably do a lot of other less relevant things too.

There is however some good news. Very recently the first ever custom scripting tool was developed for creating audio games alone. this is The blastbay game toolkit, find out more here

this is a game engine and scripting langauge with extensive tutorials. You can start froms cratch, go through the tutorials, play with the examples and learn the relevant programming just for making audio games, pluss the engine itself takes care of many of the more mundane programming tasks for you such as memory management.

It also has lots of useful functions and commands in the programming just! to create games, for instance, instead of writing lots of code to get the windows sapi voice to speak stuff, you just use one function.

programming is like anything, it takes time and dedication to learn, and thus bgt will take work to understand and use and an amount of practice, but this will be far less than doing general prgramming with a view to creating games, and the bgt tutorials are great!

Hth.
