There are so many topics already about this subject, why you didn't read them first? They would have answered you.

Anyway, I'm gonna tell you one more time:

If you already are a bit familiar with programming you could try C++, but you also could try GameMaker. It has a own language called GML. It's pretty much a stripped down version of C++ so if you think GML isn't good enough for you anymore you can easily step over to C++. Check the GameMaker site: www.gamemaker.nl.

Start out learning Visual Basic. From there you will learn Simple C++ and then you can go into Java, Then Advanced C++. It is how I am learning right now, I am halfway into making a game in JAVA.

Wow, that's quite a smart way. Maybe you should better learn GML instead of VB since it's more similar to C++ I think and you'll probably easier step over to C++ after GML but that's yours to decide.

No problem

, one more thing; where did you learn it? Any books or sites you can recommend? I'm very interested and so are the rest of the game programmers here I think

Interesting topic, and thanks for the game maker link. I didn't know a program like this existed. I'm interested in learning some advanced c++ and some java, but I'm currently on dial-up. That means that downloading java is out of the question, and I'm not sure on game making. Maybe this will give me some insight. Also, when I go to start into c++ how do I actually get started with visuals. So far I've really only done your typically cout, cin programs. Do you have to download some kind of extension or plugin for c++/java and if so, what are they and where can you find them?

will it work? Think what you will answer because it can change my PC-life-way. And is it very long to learn one thing? And is Pascal very different language(like c++)(Pascal I will must know at school)?

Infinite Game Space - game programming concept (3)

Of course a computer cannot really have a truly infinite game space but then people do not have the
infintite lifetimes required to know the difference anyway. You can create a game with billions of
billions of locations which is more than big enough to be infinite as far as the human game player
is concerned. You cannot do this with the traditional approach, of programming each location ahead
of time. Your computer does not have the memory to contain them and the programmer does not have
the time to program them. Instead you must use fixed seed random generation. F...

calculator games. Actually, z80 assembly is almost identical to the language used to program the
