wat the fuk am i watching lol

[lukeebabee]

can anybody please send me like some guidelines to the programming behind this as some friends and i want to get togother to learn and produce some small arcade games for a little side project as we will be doing it at college next year and would really appreciate a head start

[tenshitaiakuma]

@lukeebabee Learn C#, but not from some "C# for game design" book, the full language.

@lukeebabee

i have been programming for like 10 years now, tenshitaiakuma is right, you need to learn how to make DOS programs first, which is the simplest of the simple.

look up into an ancient programming language called PASCAL which is where i started, make 1 or 2 things in there. other alternatives are visual basic or the original monochrome gameboy, which i also did some programming for.

try to start with text programs and then make pacman/snake.

after all those steps you can move onto xna

@lukeebabee

but that's just the tip of the iceberg.

if you want to make a fighter there's some other things you'll probably want to look into such as programming your engine as a finite state machine, interlocking combos, or to figure out how to make decent AI. i have spent years alone in my inquiry of how to program a good fighting game, but maybe you won't if you know what to look for ;)

@lukeebabee

also you might want to join a community or forum that discusses game techniques, like gamedev.net, game maker community, gbadev, xna creator's club, there's lots of communities to get support from ;)

[ccricers]

Reminds me of Soul Edge.

[DerschlechtesteHater]

@ccricers you mean soul blade or soul calibur and this one is far away from both epic games.

[ccricers]

@DerschlechtesteHater Oh you're right. Soul Edge is just the Japanese game. This video just reminds me of a very choppy Seung Mina lol.

[DerschlechtesteHater]

@ccricers ok, thats a crazy compare. lol

[conormmmm]

That's a really good first try. I haven't been able to get this far yet. I'll keep trying though. I like the idea for the health bars. Original. :)

[stufa1978]

it must feel good seeing your ideas come to life.

Don't be discouraged. I hope to start on this sort of thing some day.
