This sounds a bit boring, but trust me - I'm in the biz!

The secret is planning.

Get the game-flow clear in your head before you even start coding. Even better, get it down on paper. (OK, so there are some exceptions! - You may want to build a "testbed" to experiment with the game-engine.)

In the industry, a lot of people get wrapped up in 5 squillion page design-docs, but all you need is a clear idea about exactly what the player has to do, and what happens when they interact with the UI (User Interface) and the game itself.

Get a few mates over, order a pizza, and "bounce some ideas around". But at the end of the day, what you really need is focus. Know what you want. If you're unlucky, your vision may not produce a great game, but a "design by comittee" will almost certainly be a poor one.

Keep at it!

lemme know exactly what your looking for because i'll adapt whatever to your needs with commenting ... i can code up some mouse/camera movement and selection, etc later when i code up someone else's DirectX/3DS -> get terrain height functions

hotkeys are simple to setup as long as you know the scancode()/keystate() numbers its a very simple setup, could probably do that later too.

any big questions just ask
