Hey all.
I have tried a few times to learn to program and i got bored of it due to attention span being too short and lack of a decent learning method.
Is there a way or site to follow to learn programming enough to make a 2d india type game or a basic pacman or spectrum type game for starters and work from there up.
I have tried visual basic dot net and made a little bit of a worms mapping tool but all i got was a window, a load and save and close interface and a preview image to a area in the window thing. Then i kinda got bored with it.
I have tried AGS to make a Knightmare game but stopped after 1 and a half rooms as the art took too long and wasnt that good.
People say learn on your own by just visiting sites and stuff but i have tried that and its either too complicated to follow without a sorta q/a way of asking for help on stuck bits or they expect you to know things when you dont have a clue or the way they teach is just too boring and long without seeing anything in return.
I mean i want to learn i have the time as i have nothing better to do but attention spam is a problem, learning methods are a problem and what to learn is a problem.
I did learn to script missions in star trek legacy once, using c# with help from a friend but ive forgotten most of that now but i was quite chuffed when i finally scripted the mission in code tho. Thing about that coding/scripting was a lot of the stuff was terminology i could use as i was used to trek. If it was a game about something like arma or skyrim or whatever i would be lost as i dont know that stuff as well as i knew about trek to be able to code for it.
I have modded games like homeworld in the past as in making 3d ships and putting them in and configuring them but thats not exactly making a 2d simple game is it.
