Im thinking of making a video game when Im more comfortable with javascript, gonna use the Bablylon.js engine to make some 3D rendered web games, might even share them if I get good enough
If I could start again I would have tried learning this stuff muuuuuch earlier. Oh well lol
Anyone have any advice on what to make for a video game? I have a few ideas but Im not sure which to try, or which would be easier to start with
I don’t know your level, but why not a simple game like tic tack toe, rock paper scissors, or even a sudoku game?
I don’t have any ideas but I made a word guessing game in C programming language when I was younger where you would input a letter and you only had so many wrong guesses before you lost the game. I’m guessing that you are probably looking for something more complex than that if you are going to make 3D rendered games though. Have fun and good luck.
I enjoyed Chess, can you make a chess game out of a language? I don’t know. Thoughts?
It might be hard to get copyright but maybe make a video game after the movie interstellar
Or at least base it upon it
That’d be sick yo.
Going to empty planets in far far away galaxies
You gotta have more aliens tho than the movie!!!
Aye good idea no??! If you’re up to it. You win with this idea.
Im pretty proficient in most basic data stuctues. Made a few small games like breakout etc.
Im impatient to get to the fancy stuff tho lol so I figure may as well
Chess sounds like fun, I bet its really hard to program a good chess AI
I had an idea to make sudoku puzzles and then sell them in print at the news-stand or in stores, but I was like 10+ years too late to the game lol.
My step-father told me about making and programming asteroids or something like a game like that. That’s pretty popular in tutorials and stuff. You can customize it. Make it easy or advanced.
I would have loved to make a math game but they seem to not make money these days anymore. I used to play math educational games as a kid because my skills were poor.
@Bowens thats cool man! I did something similar when I was in university learning C. Made a bitmap picture and you had to navigate from one end to the other of the picture with the least elevation changes (measured by color). Kinda a puzzle game, was fun but very hard to do at the time, esp in C. Thanks for the well wishes! Do you still code?
@Jonnybegood Yesssss dude a space game! Thats what Im thinking also. But even better one based off interstellarr would be dope cuz you could have like the time dialtion mechanic or w/e. Damn man nice ty
Why not just join rockstar with a team of programmers 
Lol after all you’ze a rockstar Zwolfgang
No, I haven’t for many years. I’m not sure I would have the concentration for it anymore anyways. 
The possibilities are endless with that longgggg movie 
Ah damn no worries. Yeah I worry my concentration will fade with my interest but Ive always thought coding is cool so idk if Ill ever lose the ability to focus on coding
@Jonnybegood true man that movie is an epic lol
That’s great. I never really programmed except a tad bit in R for a stats class; and I took edx for mit’s python, but finished half of it but still got a cert because of my grades. So ya, I can do very, very basic things. I don’t know much, really.
I’d make a classic zelda-like game where you run about swinging your sword at monsters and collecting coins to spend on stuff! It could be top-down view.
@anon28145038 that sounds good to me man! Good that you realize you dont know anything, too many people out there took like a few months course and think theyre programming gods lol. Ive taken uni classes and I still feel like I dont know anything. So much to learn
Are you still actively learning to code? I feel like so long as youre improving thats what matters
@agent101g That sounds really cool actually but Im no good at making sprites haha Im ok at manipulating images, but not pixel art sadly, Id have to buy/flip spriite sets I think
