Game development

Question

when starting game development where should i start? should i be making start menus or making the player move?

Answer 1

You can open any file in Cpp with
std::ifstream file("example.png", std::ios::bin);

std::ios::bin to open in binary mode, because a png is a binary document.

Answer 2

Frank, unity does not support c++ ( I think )

Unreal does use c++

Answer 3

I think you should first make the gameplay (Player Movement, Some Items,Enemies, ...) to test if the game is good.
them you can make the menu and leveldesign, Charactermodelling,... .

Answer 4

From my point of view, I think you should start creating the scene (the environement) first.

Then, you should create the gameplay:
-player
-enemy
-object interactions

Next, you can create more levels (if you want to make a multi-level game).

The start menu should be the last one, because is more easier to connect scenes and to add sound and graphics options.

Answer 5

Unreal use C++, Unity C#(or java, but... naahh)
