As a beginner...

Postby Bomberman101 » Sun Mar 17, 2013 4:57 am

Hello there!
I'm um... new to GE and was wondering what to do for a start. I've seen the tutorials and stuff but I need something to really get me started. Like a game that I might make to teach myself more about GE since the tutorials don't help as much.. Is there a tutorial out there to use everything I learned?

Following a tutorial will only teach you so much. You've already gone through a few, so why would going through another help test if you've really learned stuff? You could then easily just follow the tutorial, and think that you understand. Trying to make a game, will show you what you do and don't know. Since you've watched the tutorials, I'd recommend trying to make a platformer. That should have given you the basics on how gE works. From there, the key to learning gE is to try to do that which you currently can't.

If you don't know something, try to learn it. And if you still can't figure it out by yourself, reach out to the forums. Another thing you should do is take a look at other peoples code.
