    Easy does not have anything on the worth of a game

    There are plenty of excellent games that tend to be easy

    Now I'm here

    sunn wolf, thank you for posting "2112", I feared that page had passed without it.

    Cream, if you want to make a FAQ/walkthrough for my game, be my guest.

    Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
    "Most recent by Imipölex G"

    ???

    Of course, Imi has to ninja me right as I post that.

    Or not? pls halp

    I'm not entirely sure what my favorite arr pee gee is.

    There are just so many to choose from.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    I like very few RPGs and not all that many video games but TTYD is one that I like.

    Though this may have something to do with the fact that RPGs seem to constitute most of what I play.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    I played about half of TTYD. Sometimes I wish I had finished it.
  • Not a hybrid rabbit-skink spirit
    Yeah, RPGs are my favorite genre

    Though I have a large soft spot for classic point and click adventure games.

    No, pathetic would be Lunar as your favorite RPG


    that's a straight cookie-cutter boring-ass JRPG whose only saving grace at the time was having animated cutscenes but every generation it sees a re-release

    On their website -- which has changed in the past few years -- they make sure you know that it was created using emacs. That's not the end of it though, in the process they then held up George W. Bush as a failure for not using emacs.

    Mostly SQL and Business Intelligence Analysis stuff.

    Lee seems to do more object oriented programming.

    I'm a fledgling programmer

    I really need to improve my skills
  • edited 2013-01-03 22:14:10
    Hm.

    Well, would anyone know which language would be good for both making a game and for learning about programming?

    I was thinking BASIC, but I figured I should probably ask around here first.

    I would like to understand programming but attempting to teach myself Python (an easy language, allegedly) felt rather like banging my head against a brick wall, and then other things took up my time.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    I know very little about programming. Tried to learn C and failed.

    I know that SMBX was programmed in Visual Basic.

    I think people tend to use Python or Java in this situation. 
  • Not a hybrid rabbit-skink spirit
    Java is considered by many to be one of the easiest to learn

    Though in my opinion if you're planning on making a game you might wanna start out with GameMaker, RPG Maker, or Unity.

    Unity utilizes javascript, c++, and one other language I don't remember, RPG Maker has Ruby scripts, and I don't know about GameMaker.

    DID YOU ALL SEE HOW A8 CRAPPED ON MY SUGGESTION BEFORE I EVEN MADE IT! WOW! RUDE!
  • Not a hybrid rabbit-skink spirit
    Aye, he's quite the psychic jackass, no?
  • I like the idea of starting from scratch though. It seems like GameMaker already has way too much stuff on it already, and  RPG Maker is too limiting. I don't know anything about Unity, though, so I might want to try that.

    I've actually done game programming to a limited degree on DOS, Windows, and even a console (Turbografx-16.) 

    If you want to learn how to make a video game, you can't go wrong with either C or C++. If you learn C, then you've (for the most part) learned Java.

    Personally, I prefer straight C. I think C++ is a gigantic pile of shit but that's just me

    I've heard that the C family is an absolute nightmare to be the first language to learn.

    I honestly have no idea if python is a good language or not. I just know I've seen other people attempt to make games in it.

    Granted, these "others" probably had the equivalent to at least a minor in Computer Science. They would have cut their teeth on Java.
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    I want to program a game

    Also be a web designer

    I never really practice coding though :/
  • Doctor Who reference in Pokemon B2W2? Headcanon accepted.
    Ask anyone who works with C and they'll tell you there's only one good, intuitive book that teaches you how to use C and that's Kernighan and Ritchie's book on ANSI C. These were the guys who came up with the language, by the way.

    You could also shell out moneys for the book (last time I bought it, it was like $50) or you could just go this route --> http://zanasi.chem.unisa.it/download/C.pdf

    Our College also taught basic logic using Visual Basic. But this was for making basic windows apps, not games per se.

    It has a bit of a curve but if a borderline illiterate Marine can learn it, so can you.

  • Every time I think about making the game I've been wanting to make for months now I get a headache.
  • Not a hybrid rabbit-skink spirit
    Most of my friends have nothing but good things to say about Python.

    Not sure if it's an easy language to learn, but they talk about it like it's solid gold.

    Python is the beginner language here at my university, but I went to a junior college first that focused on C (which I already knew) so I know exactly zip when it comes to Python

    How easily can C be used for graphics? I actually got a C++ manual a year ago, but three pages in it said that it wouldn't be teaching how to make graphics so I sort of gave up on that.

    Also if memory serves Python and LISP are alike "ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW" about programming or something.

    So said some random dude we discussed earlier in this thread.
  • Not a hybrid rabbit-skink spirit
    I don't actually know much about graphics in programming languages

    I've done jack shit with that apart from some small GUI stuff

    That depends entirely on the graphics library you use. But you're trying to run before you can walk. You need at least a basic grasp on how C or C++ works before you start trying to figure out how to install a graphics library with your compiler and fiddling with basic primitives. 
  • Well, I guess I'll have to try both out, then.
