Hello everyone,
I am a programmer of about two months now, Python only for now. I am however going to take module one and two of C++ programming for game developers at gameinstitute.com real soon hopefully!
I am learning basic game programming now, and would like to teach others in an easy way since most of the tutorials online are not aimed at first time programmers, which is some bull. What I want to achieve here is a simple game tutorial that will explain everything that needs to be done in making a simple game, and why it needs to be done. Think of it as a For Us By Us(FUBU) tutorial, us of course being newbie programmers.
Before I even start posting the code for a simple game with graphics, and possibly animation, I will recommend to anyone who is new to python, and wants to program games that you at least check out the book Python Programming for the absolute beginner by michael dawson. It is written for game programming by a game programmer and is meant as an introduction to the python language, through game examples, and even covers sound graphics and animation in the last few chapters.
I will probably use a custom version of livewires that comes with the book for my tutorial, and to all who need it I can provide that. I will also be using pygame. I will NOT be using the games in the book I mentioned earlier for this tutorial, as I am sure it is probably illegal to copy someone else's tutorial and call it your own, but instead I will eventually choose a very simple(sort of) game with graphics, sound, and possibly animation.
When I decide what game I will be making I will update this post, and add the first bit of code, as I said this will be a very thoroughly explained tutorial and will be taken one step at a time, so it may take a while after I begin.(plus I will be learning also I am sure)
Bye for now,
Broken_Saint
