I am gonna start on game development

[HelplessNobb88]

I have been incredibly dissatisfied with most aviation games. Not realistic, weird graphics, etc...

So, I have become an idiot and a now gonna embark on an attempt at making something that I like, and maybe a game that will satisfy my aviation nerdy-ness. Any tips? Programs?

Learn C++ and use an engine to build your game.

I should tune into this as I know nothing about game development and would love to create my own. Perhaps I could help you in the future if we both learn delevopment fast enough?

*shrug*

Don't expect a game idea in a day, just build on a small idea and let it expand on it's own

Damn, this seems stupidly daunting. I should have seen if my middle school was offering game development courses.

It is not an easy feat to build a game from the ground up.
If C++ is too tough for you, learn an easy language such as Python or another language.
I highly suggest Python. It's code is very simple and clean looking. You can also develop simple games with it.

Python.

I know I've heard of this. Searching...tomorrow.

I think it was three years ago, actually. ._.

Here are too simple examples of codes from the famous "Hello World" program.

C++ :

Code: [Select]

#include <iostream.h>

main()
{
    cout << "Hello World!" << endl;
    return 0;
}
Python:

Code: [Select]

print "Hello World"As you can see Python is really quite... Simpler. It is not very hard to understand.
But there are many things you cannot do in Python that you can do in C++. For one, you can not design say, a full 3D game in Python like you could in C++.
Atleast, not that I've seen.

I am gonna start on Python, since I am a complete dipstuff and could probably manage to make my computer burst into flames if I tried something to complicated.

C# Hello World ;D

Code: [Select]

using System;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");
        }
    }
}

Lucky you. My computer bursts into flames from being on the Blockland Forums, wonder what coding will do to it. Probably set my head on fire as well.

[Caution]

Start with simple code and work your way up. Also start with easy and simple projects. I'm not sure how advanced you plan your game to be but just a thought.

Don't pull a Keonesan.

I rarely ever even hear my computer fans going lol.
