Ever wanted to know how to make a game? Visit this guide and it will set you on your target.
First you need to ask yourself a few questions:
- Do I know any programming languages?
- What is the game going to be about?
- Is your ability of programming good enough to make it?
Answers
- If you do know a programming language how well do you know it? There is a variety of programming languages out there but there are a few main ones. These are: C, C++, Java, Python, Flash, and Ruby. I personally program in Java as I find it very easy to program games in.
- Your game could be about anything it could even be a MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) if you know what you are doing.
- How well do you know the programming language? If you are aiming to make a MMORPG and only know how to program a simple line of code, then you are not being realistic and it will be a long time before you are going to make one.
Resources
- I chose Java to learn because you can embed it into web pages making it easy for people to play it with no downloads. I learnt to program it from a book but you can search
for some tutorials. When you know enough about the language you can turn it into a game. I used
javacooperation
to learn the basics of gaming. Also Youtube is a good source for tutorials. Search aphonik for Java tutorials. -
Game Discovery
is a good source for game ideas. Also a good source to play games is
Miniclip. If your game is good enough they will pay you for the license of the game.
I hope you found this guide helpful!

its gooD!!thanks..a wanna ask some question here…
1. do i need any software to make a computer game?did it’s need any program to make a game?
2. isn’t it take a long time to make a game?for example game about the science(respiration).
that all..thanks.
i love games
tyvm now i cn maske online games
but what happened to animation?
Man ya rock…I dream to be agame programmer and make a game like RuneScape.This information you gave is great.Java rocks too!
Good job, gets the point across quick and cleanly.
Another thing that can really help out new game programmers are game engines. Engines can provide the core code for games without the programmer to have extensive knowledge about game programming.
Anyways, nice job.
CONFUSING!
fun games
