I Want To Be Able To Creat A Game by jacksam567: 4:03pm On Mar 27, 2015 |
Hello I want to be a game designer, i have tried learning C++ but I stil can't still do any reasonably program with. I don't know if C++ is the right programing language or do I need any addition programming language to learn. If so can anyone tell me what to do. Thanks |

jacksam567: Have you read any book on c++? |

You can create games in any programming language. Even with php and javascript which are web based. But if you are looking to make games that you download and run on systems, c++ wasn't a bad idea but you've got to learn the language inside out. |

Yes i have but it only it all end in creating commands. But no actual details on designing games |

jacksam567: If that's what you think then you are definitely missing out... Do some research on c++ libraries, there are tones of them out there that you can use to accomplish more that a mere command line app. Game engines, which can assist yo in making games, are part of these libraries.

If you are talking about 3D games you don't necessarily have to use C++. Here's my personal experience. I didn't neccasarily create a game but i did a simulation of some sort at work. and here what my workflow was like. STEP 1: Create 3D models and rig them for movement (My personal favorite modelling tool is Cinema 4D look it up). STEP 2: Import your 3D models into a platform like Unity Designer and create the game environment. STEP 3: Write up some code that determines how the game responds to scenarios (With unity 3D I have a preference for C#). Note that any other 3D modelling tool like Maya can be used in Step 1. Furthermore, creation of the models can be done in Unity 3D as well so you don't have to learn two platforms here's a link to unity 3d scripting http://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/modules/beginner/scripting And here is an intro tutorials on Code Project http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/876015/UNITY-D-Game-Programming-Introduction And here's a showcase of stuffs you can achieve with unity 3D. http://unity3d.com/showcase 3 Likes

^^^ which of these game engines were made in Nigeria. |
Re: I Want To Be Able To Creat A Game by BlueMagnificent(m): 9:56pm On Mar 28, 2015 |
Febup: None... Unfortunately none of them were made by a single "country" but by "people" from diverse countries collaborating together to bring a project to life as is evident in the Open Source game engines listed above |

BlueMagnificent: But someone or a group of people still owns the software licence in one country. Comparison of free and open-source software licenses: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_free_and_open-source_software_licenses |

Febup: Well, that will be the case if you are creating your own licenses, if you as a creator choose to use one of the popular Open Source licenses like BSD, GPL, LGPL, MIT (etc) I don't see how it binds your country to the software |
