Game making

Hi its me I don't suppose any of you would teach me how to make a game?

also please someone join my forum!!!!!

what type of game ?

A flash trek or broken mirror type game i have always wanted to give it a go.

erm well thats gonna take you at least a year if you have good programming knowledge and if you dont itll take you about 2 years or more

Hey im patient and no I have no programming knowledge but you can teach me the basics and i can learn the rest myself.

personnally i dont have ime to teach but hey you have the internet go on youtube and look for flash tutorials

I'd say it would be easier to watch you tube, than learn from some one

yeh youtube is a great resource i learnt a lot from it personally

when I was learning how to use CS3, then CS4, Youtube was like a god

yeh if you need to learn how to do something quickly youtube is the best for that

or google
thou I can't say a text tut is easier than a video tut,

i disagree not if its a commentated one as you actually see what they are doing rather than having to make it out from some vague screen shots

Ahh, i see you are already here, so i had no need to give you a link.......i dont pay atention to new members untill they post a few times or start a topic......yeah, im rude like that sometimes

I reccomend starting with a modified version of Romulan Wars, like i did

(Here is the link to the game)

I know its terrible, but it was my first game, also i reccomend getting photoshop and learning how to use it before doing anything, you wont have white boxes around your sprites Hope this helps

its not really that bad for a first attempt

Don't suppose I could use actionscript?

ok soo heres the best way to learn from scratch and trust me its easier to learn this way frm scratch, this sounds stupid but it really helped me, get adobe flash cs4 spend between 20-50 dollers on flash cs4 for dummies, then ur on your way, after that i personally find text easier as u bookmark it and use it to help u.. but it depends on the job...

and on ur most suited learning style..

if u dont wish to sepnd any money, try searching google for basic flash tutorials

Flash is hard, but if all you are doing is changing sprites, thats relitivly easy, remember, all of the stats are hidden in the code, also if you tell me what operating system you have, i will tell you the best flash software to download (some of the newer ones lag, so if you get an older one sometimes it works better, it depends, i have a Windows 2000, so Micromedia works best )

What is a actionscript and how do i bring it up.

press f9

or go into the actions panel
