Alright so I just got Blitzmax so I could program my first game, anyone got any suggestions for a simple game I could make?
Maybe when I get better I will make some really cool games

One that supports Multiplayer PVP.
Party vs. Party FTW!

Two ships, one at the top of the screen, one at the bottom.
The goal is to shoot the top/bottom(if it floats your boat) ship before it shoots you.

Or a heli game where the objective is to shoot down all your enemies while collecting power-ups along the way. Too many weapons will make your heli heavier, while collecting speed boosts to make your craft lighter. Weapons like vulcan, missile, and bombs will be included.

Good luck with that.Personally my head gets all turned inside out when I've fiddled with any programming plus I could never do the graphics part.That is unless I was making something that involved stick figures.  |

I think he asked for a SIMPLE game,AZN. Not one with as many variables(OR WHATEVER YOU GEEKS CALL THEM) like you suggested.

OMG assembly!That crap made my explode.First in,last out etc.At least with some other languages theres an actual language.Id love to learn assembly,I mean it's awesome.You can make small programs so small and run so fast.I mean if your just going to make small apps thats the best way to go.Plus knowing assemly could help with working on other programs when your debugging them.I've messed with some of the C variants but only for some game mods,never really anything full blown.Basically all the programming Ive done was just personal goals.I got bored and gave myself a goal and tried to reach it.But between my memory and lack of math skills most of that didn't end to well.  |

Yes I just made my first attempt at assembly, I am about to cry out of confuzzlement... pretty much how I felt.Just reading about the basics fried my brain. Edit:Oh and btw the worst thing you can do is try and start out with too big of a goal in mind.Most people start with something like a game of tic-tac-toe or maybe rock-paper-scissors and maybe a card game after that.Theres allot of tuts on those types of things plus the graphics are much simpler and for things like tic-tac-toe theres only so many variations so it's a much easier starting place. |
