I am fairly interested in programming in general, and though I am not really all that much into game design, I like to dabble in it from time to time. Though I think not many people will notice, I have committed a large amount of edits to this wiki in the past day. I've been bored lately, and perusing these forum posts and wiki pages are interesting. Have yourself a great day!

Wed, 04 Dec 2013 02:32:49 +0000 Optimal 1470389 The thought of creating my own game has intrigued me for 3 years now. I've downloaded the program Blender and had tried to teach myself, but the entire interface was simply foreign to me. When I saw this site, it almost instantly re-ignited the flame to want to learn again. This place does seem a little, empty, but if anyone is still here I would more than love to hear their infinite wisdom. I'm checking in on Wikidot almost everyday, so if you send me a PM, I'll reply within 24 hours. I'm an almost complete noob, but I'm known to be a quick learner.

I'm extremely happy that I've stumbled upon this site. I am currently a college student working on a BFA concentrated in Digital Art. I started my collegiate career as a computer science major and plan on picking up a CS major. I'm still pretty new to the actual development of games (although I've planed on this career since the age of 2). I'm sure that I will have a ton of questions for you guys.

I'm just taking a moment to introduce myself. I'm Mike and I have been kicking around the idea of doing this for awhile, but just now getting more serious about it. I've dabbled in QBasic years ago and VB as well. I'm in love with snes and nes style rpgs and platform games, so I think that is what I will probably focus on. I'm sure I'll have to start with more basic than that though. I am thinking of being cheesy and remaking an atari game just to get some experience with this. Alright…I suppose thats it then.

is available here:

Often everything is black at the start, despite a programmed grey background and black square outlining the drawing area.
What did I do wrong?

Thanks for any help,

I've just signed on and I'm looking to learn about design and programming. I'm mostly an RPG/strategy gamer, and I've been really fascinated by the ASCII game Dwarf Fortress by Bay 12 Games. I just read "A theory of fun for game design", by Raph Koster, and I really appreciated the view that learning and challenges are what makes a game fun. One of the earliest games I played that had a huge impact on my life was Ultima IV (Sega console, I think). It stuck out to me so much because the game requires you to behave, in-game, according to a set of virtues that you must eventually become an avatar of. This was different to the usual win-by-killing games I had played and have played since. This game had real world implications for me by teaching me about virtues, values, and beliefs, and I would someday like to program a similar ASCII or tile-based game.

I have near-to-no programming experience whatsoever. I did a little html back in the 90s, I played around with RPG Maker 2000 at about the same time, and while I'm comfortable with maths, I am no genius. I find I learn best by a) having a relevant context, and b) having concrete illustrations to depict abstract concepts.

I'm currently studying post-grad (non-IT) so I'm looking at doing this as a pasttime. Can anyone with expertise or experience in ASCII or tile-based games help put my virgin foot on the first rung of my ladder?

Cheers!!

FoM.

I found my way here from the PlayBasic forums. I just started using it a couple weeks ago and I like to think I'm getting fairly proficient with it. The last time I programmed was on my Commodore 64, doing Atari-style games and 2-word parser text adventures. I've been working on a space exploration game called "Star Captain," which you can look at here if you like. I really shouldn't have chosen such a difficult and math/logic intensive subject for my first experimentations with the language, but all seems to be going rather well (although, based on what I know of my programming skills, 2MB of it is probably worthless/redundant/over-complicated). It's kind of a cross between Solar Winds and Roadwar 2000. I really would like to hurry up and get it done, even though I've been wanting to make it for a while, because I also want to make an RPG using a hand-drawn art style that I've been dreaming up since I was a kid, and also another RPG along the lines of Nocturne (horror/paranormal investigation), which would use an engine similar to Fallout. I'm a professional author with 2 published fantasy books, I have some background in art and film, and what I'd really like to do is get some skilled and committed people together to form a company to make fun indie games. I love the way games were back in the 80's… games like Roadwar 2000, Wasteland, The Bard's Tale… games that might have been a little more complicated but were much deeper and more immersive than some of the graphical spectacles of gratuitous action and ridiculously simple and linear RPG's of today.
