What is essential to make a full desktop application or game Like to say a football game or a farm game etc....

Question

I'm interested in developing desktop applications

Answer 1

Well, first you would need to decide what language you want to write the applications in. For games like you are describing, and to have them as desktop applications, I suggest you study C++ or Java. Then you would need the right tools for the language you learn. For example, for c++ you would need an IDE and compiler. In order to create the games you will want to have libraries that make writing graphics, creating a game window, playing theme music etc... easier. If you were to choose c++, a good library/toolkit to use for game programming could be SFML for example. Hope it helps. Best of luck.
