gavacho 0 Report post Posted November 12, 2008 Don't expect to be making commercial games anytime soon. Game programming is not an endeavor for rookies. It is perhaps the most difficult and technically complex area of programming. I worked for a company that had a team of a dozen programmers working for a year to develop online poker software, and they failed and abandoned the project. I don't mean to discourage you, you can start simple, making practice games, until you develop enough skill for commercially viable products.Most online games are written eith in C++ or Java. C++ is the faster language and does not require any addons as does java. The advantage to Java is that game can run in the customer's browser without requiring a software download.Both C++ and Java are heavily Object Oriented or OOP languages. Your first step in learning game programming should be to learn how the OOP framework is used. A good place to start would be to browse the programming forums on this site.
