Title: A question for you people :D
Post by: hay2u on July 12, 2007, 03:56:59 pm
Okay I'm new (please don't obliterate me) and i'm in love with pixels...

I do sometimes make my own stuff with Graphics Gale, but I guess I'm still a noob i guess

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/SackBot/dancebobhead2.gif) that better work lol....

I was wondering if all the little "pieces" of games people do, what program do you use to make the actual games, and is there a language you'd recommend me to take up...

because,   pixels + workable little minigame type thing = zomgz...

pixels mean so much, anyways... Please help me out !   ¦D

theres a lot, for easy start but not an official language you can use gamemaker. if you want a game in a browser so people dont have to download it you can use flash. theres also OpenGL, XNA, and lots others just search.

yeah, but say, with flash, i dont know how I'd use pixels, other than importing crap, which would be crazy annoying...

with the other programs, gamemaker and openGL and crap, its not easy, is it?

like beginner beginner, i dont know C++ lol...or i dont even know java, dunno nuffin :[

This section of the forum is intended to give you knowledge on pixel art, not game making, still though, I shall help. If you want to use Flash, it will require alot of learning, I would suggest using this: http://www.pixel2life.com/publish/cat/macromedia_flash/ to find tutorials. Now your knowledge of pixel art seems a bit weak, so I want you to go look at some tutorials: http://www.wayofthepixel.net/pixelation/index.php?topic=3467 Make sure to look at especially this one: http://www.bigbluebubble.com/pixeltutorial/ Infact, I have that bookmarked because it's so useful.
