Ok, I have experience in C++, also I am currently for a uni assignment making a game using glut... I was wondering, how do I develop games using Cry engine 3? I have fiddled with the edditor... But I was wondering, can somone link me to a page which can show me how I can get down to the nitty gritty actual programming, and how the entire system works... I did look, but midnight is having its tole on my searching abilities

Thanks for putting up with noobs like me who know not enough

If you want some "Hello World", add the following line at the end of CGame::Init in Game.cpp (I assume you know how to compile the solution)
Code:
CGame::Init(IGameFramework *pFramework)
{
    ...
    gEnv->pLog->LogAlways("Hello World!");
}

After compiling (I asssume you're using 64bit) and starting Bin64\Editor.exe you should find "Hello World!" in Editor.log in the CE3 SDK root directory.

You should know that the SDK only allows modifications of the game code, you don't have the code of the "low level" graphics, physics or AI functions. So you aren't able to use it in the same way as GLUT, SDL or even OGRE.
