Taking a game programming class...

[Darryl McKoy]

i think it's hilarious that your school system is so sensitive about guns considering america seems to be the biggest pro-gun country there is

even australia isnt that bad, and we have pretty tight firearm restrictions

How is it inappropriate to make a game with guns in it?

because you're at school

Nothing about in-game violence translates into the real world and if you can't handle the fact that gun games exist and people like them then you shouldn't be a teacher in the first place.

you're going off on some kind of tangent

my school doesn't have programming classes

[ThatDarkNinja778]

Well I mean if they're okay with people throwing muffins at each other, couldn't you maybe get away with having some unrealistic cartoony violence in your game?

[jonnyman5656]

[Headcrab Zombie]

Is it actual programming or just game maker or some stuff

[Zanlue]

I've heard that my school once had a game development class, the teacher quit after the first day or so.

lol why

[phflack]

there are many kinds of games that don't have violence/guns
and they also can be easier to make

ie, make a chess game or something?

[Zanlue]

lol why

No idea, I'd assume it was just stuffty students he couldn't handle.

If you are making a 2d game then you really don't need to use weapons or any kind of violence.  Just make some kind of top down puzzle game or a sidescrolling platform game.

also
if it's in java and you need help, let me know
i'm rather bored currently and have taught a few people java + TA'd a class for two years (APCS) in highschool

[espio100]

you're at school, doing it for school, probably for other students to play and certainly for your teacher to judge
not only is it absurdly inappropriate to make a violent school project, but it is completely unfair to think that you should have the right to force someone else to play a violent game just because it "limits your creativity" otherwise
you can make whatever games you want on your own time. there's literally nothing stopping you. you can be as "creative" as you want at home. but this is for school

If people cant distinguish a game from reality they are not worth breating the air.
