Hiya, my name’s Andrew and I’ve been trying learn to develop game for the past 4-5 years, but i haven’t made much progress. As a lot of you know its very easy to get overwhelmed and give up, which is what I’ve been doing for years. Hopefully I can change that routine before this year is over. My current goal is to make a “game” before I turn 17, so basically before New Years.
I’ve take online courses in ActionScript, JavaScript, HTML/CSS, and a little in Java. After these course I would try and make the simplest game possible. Most of the time it would be a tutorial plus one extra feature of my own, but i generally failed. I may not be a “talented” code but I’m trying.
I recently purchased Playmaker, because 1. Its harder to give up on thing you’re monetarily invested in. 2. I thought the somewhat limited selection of actions it has might help me rely more on logic then knowledge of code. 3. I’m a wee bit desperate so I’m just trying to change everything and see what works for me.
Any who, thanks for any help you guys can give me. I will normally try to check to see if my question has been answered before, but if I end up re-asking an old question just let me know.
