I tried coding a long time ago, maybe 6 or 7 years ago to be specific, i wasn't very good and i was pretty young so i had a hard time learning the language. I recently got an idea in my head about a game and more and more ideas have been bouncing inside my head about this game. So i want to learn how to make it.
I see that theres a guide, im going to start reading that, is there anything else you guys can recommend i do? Also is the guide fully comprehensive? I can't imagine 1 guide could explain everything but maybe it can, will it be all i really need?
Thanks

Here's a good collection of starting materials:
http://www.byond.com/developer/articles/start The guide just covers the basics of the language. The new stuff (interfaces, big icons) isn't included, but you can pick it up from the reference or Dream Maker articles. Or you can always ask here. | |
Thanks for the tips man, i checked out Spunky_Girls tutorials and they look really helpful.
I meant the other guide, Designers Guide to World Byond. I put it on my Kindle and it looks pretty legible so thats going to make reading this alot easier. Thanks for the links DarkCampainger, ill read it all. Im really excited to start learning this, i appreciate all the help guys. | |
When I start a new project, I get done with the Login and save/load code first, if that's of any help...That way you can focus more on the game's content itself.
Depending on what kind of game you want to make, you could download a source code of another project and learn from that. For example, if you want to make an RPG game, Spunky_Girl's Foundation is really good to get you started and learn how to make combat systems and such.
And even though I don't approve of it, Youtube has a few good tutorials, too. Most of them cover the basics, so if you need any extra help you could watch some of those.
