I just started and have 0 knowledge... but i'd like to learn how to make a game.

Question

I know some of you are going to hate me for this but I would very much appreciate some advice or guidance on Game development.

I have absolutely zero knowledge in programming and coding. I am, however, willing to exert the effort to learn. I only need someone to help me and point me to the right direction... please.

Answer 1

Suggestion : Maybe Sololearn can create a game course 🙆‍♂️🤗😄💖

Answer 2

it would be wonderful if Sololearn could do a course on creating games!

Answer 3

If you want to make a game here on solo you'll have to go the web dev way. (html - css - js etc)
Because graphics for other languages aren't supported here.

Generally though the way to go for making a game is object oriented programming and a good understanding of math/physics.
(The more realistic you want to make a game the more math/physics you'll need)

Answer 4

Learn C++/C# & java/kotlin
they're mostly used languages.

Answer 5

My Help is a code containing useful links:

Answer 6

c# and unity game engine

Answer 7

#c for web games and 3D games

Answer 8

I am new to programming too, but luckily I have little brother coders, they told me to learn an easy language first (html,css,javascript) then move on to c++ or java.
You can code a game using html, css, and javascript. You'll have to use the html <canvas> tag and draw to it using Javascript. Then CSS to pretty up the site.

Answer 9

its will take a long time to make non-web game. But, happy learning!!!

Answer 10

Ruby i may not be for game develoment but it teaches you programming. In the Ruby course there is a simple game with objects that have strength ponts and such, just like a game characer.

Answer 11

Thanks, this will help me a lot.
you guys are awsome!

Answer 12

Look Java™ for start learning web development for games and also in this BIG plus it is and for Android™ Android™ Google™Play and Android Pay plafrom too!😉👍

Answer 13

I recommend c++ to u

Answer 14

Hello friend.

Sololearn does provide C++ and C# tutorials so you can use C++ for unreal engine and C# for unity. You said you wanted to create a game, but did not say you want to build an engine, thats why I recommend these 2 engines to you. If you chose to learn C++, when you're done with the C++ course of sololearn, I recommend you watching the C++ tutorial playlist by Derek Banas, because sololearn does not fully cover the STL library that C++ offers. I wish you luck!

Answer 15

wow, fhen you have a very long way to go my friend, but guess what? ifs very possible and can be pretty easy if you have the drive and thanks to Solo Learn, if has made eveyrhing to easy..You will understand what i mean later and hopefully be as thankful to this app as i am. Goodluck and one suggestion, try making Local friends in your area who are into programming, you will discover its beautiful that way.

Answer 16

if your ONLY reason to learn coding is to write a game I'd suggest Java because I believe it is platform independent. You can write the game once and then play it on windows, mac, android, whatever.

HOWEVER, if you want to learn programming for another reason other than gaming and WHAY to PRACTICE coding by building a game (like I'm doing) then I would suggest learning Python because it's SUPER easy compared to the other languages suggested here and can be complied with cython or jython of you want to.

Answer 17

JavaScript will, most likely, be found to be the easiest choice in this situation. However, you would need to know HTML and CSS.

Answer 18

what stands for using standard std

Answer 19

You should probably start small like Scratch, and when you think you're confident go on higher levels like Python, then Java, then C++/C/C#.
