Well, If you want to make an FPS game without DirectX, you will need a lot of coding and optimisation knowledge. If you just want to start out then my advice would be to try using Direct 3d Retained Mode. Now don't worry, this is very simple to use. A helluva lot more simpler than using the API. Granted, d3drm is 3d, it doesn't involve most of the math that you WILL encounter by using the API. There has been some source of a first person game called doomed 3d, do a search on the main page for it. It has full source code.. and its very easy to understand. Hope this helps.
