well first of all im new to this programming stuff.(ive been doing it for about 5 months). ive made alot of games the most complicated was where u play as a pokemon and kill trainers, but thats my point my games are to simple. i forgot to tell you that im 13, so like dont get all mad. i understand c++, but not well. can u guys help me with this. like telling me how to make more complicated games

well what kind of game do you want to make?

trippola, I think the best thing to do is play other peoples games and demos to see what they are doing. Then look at the code to learn more complicated things.

What you really need, to make more complicated games, is an idea.

Take a look at Bee-Ants wanderer demo. Look at all the suggestions people are making for that.

If you want to make a pokemon game where you kill trainers, what about a path for advancement?
What happens to your pokemon as you kill trainers? Do you evolve to Stage 2? Stage 3?
What happens at stage 2? Do you gain more powers?
How do you handle damage?
Do the trainers unleash pokemon against you? Maybe you could have a game where you attack the trainers and their pokemon and as you advance, the trainers are better and the pokemon are more challenging until you get an arena where you take on a super-boss trainer and his stage 3 pokemon pack.

Just some ideas. If you implement anything near half of those ideas, it would be a pretty complicated game - and maybe even interesting to play.

But the point is, find an idea you like... and build on it. Just one pokemon game doesn't mean the idea is done either. You can reuse the idea to make a better game until it's ready to share. As you learn things, your games get better and your ideas are easier to implement.

an idea is to leave the complex stuff till later. I am making the sprites in my game and eventually I will add a shop, inventory, start menu, pause menu and intro movie but that is not needed yet. 4 a pokemon like game u would have to make a lotta variables. like

Code: Select all

if(level_3==1)
eventenable keydown whatever;

things like that to make your pokemon only able to do stuff at cirtain levels.
