Razor42 Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 I'm currently working on my graphics work. I am nothing special at the moment, check my gallary that will be updated when I create something. If/When you feel you have got a good grip on things and have your game in development and I may be able to help you out with some free graphics work, depending on how my learning goes also :). 1 Quote
MrCbrl95 Posted August 29, 2012 Author Posted August 29, 2012 hey a_bertrand i figured i'd need to make my own graphics, ill do that. thank you. Razor42 you should add me bro you keep coming to my thread, your beeing truly nice and helpful ^-^ and ima make my own graphics, i think it be best i i get that experience also. btw my html training has been going well; ive memorized the following scripts: links <a></a> headings <h1></h1> <h2></h2>.. and so on up to h6 paragraphs <p></p> make a horizontal line <hr /> new line <br /> idk what this is im guessing it just specifies the file type <html> and <!DOCTYPE html> i put it in all my html scripting aligning things <div align="center"> or <div align="left"> or <div align="right"> or <left> or <right> or <center> i practice html scripting using notepad and i just save as html file. told you im a quick learner :D Quote
Razor42 Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 Well done, look into forms and tables, they'll play a big part in your coding. Quote
MrCbrl95 Posted August 29, 2012 Author Posted August 29, 2012 i know about twice as much i that now posting images <img src="example.jpg" width="104" height="142" /> <-- for some reason this img html script doesnt work for me, i put the name of the image and correct type of image it is but the image doesnt show, only a red "x" shows and the shape of the image which is transparent font and color style="family-font:times;"> style="color:red;"> alot of other things... and yeah ill look into that, im currently learnign html css, which im taking a little slow because the coding is getting a little heavy and i dont wanna rush through and then forget Quote
a_bertrand Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 because the example.jpg file must be stored in the same directory as your html... Quote
MrCbrl95 Posted August 29, 2012 Author Posted August 29, 2012 because the example.jpg file must be stored in the same directory as your html... what do you mean? my html doc is in the desktop, so i need the image to be on desktop too? and i have the image on a folder in desktop, if i put the html doc in the folder it would work that way also?

Octarine Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 Keeping the two files together (your html document and the example image) as in this example should work prefect well for you. Quote
MrCbrl95 Posted August 29, 2012 Author Posted August 29, 2012 Keeping the two files together (your html document and the example image) as in this example should work prefect well for you. oh ok thanks i got it, thats weird though that they need to be in the same directory. ive been learning alot, but im beginning to think, HTML, CSS, MySQL, javascript, isnt all of this for web building purposes, not game building. i know first things first, i should learn to make the site and then the game to put in the site. but i just wanna know what is used for making the actual game, i know theres python, c++, java, are these things what makes the game? thank you again, everyone has been so helpful and have been around to answer my questions Quote
Octarine Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 Well a lot of people here use PHP as the script language of choice - it's simple to host, relatively easy to learn, can be run on your own "home" box with ease, and is well supported "out there" by hosting companies up and down the land. How you put together a game though is up to you; html, css, javascript, php are probably the minimum requirements for anything sane, then of course you would almost certainly need some form of persistent store; hence mysql. It would probably be wise to look at one of the WAMP stacks (Windows+Apache+MySQL+PHP) which essentially provide all the key basic elements you need. At the end of the day; if you really want to make a game then you just need to put in a lot of time and effort to create what you need. There are plenty of decent resources on the web; the manuals may be dry but they are worth knowing inside out. Just don't expect to become rich overnight. Quote
MrCbrl95 Posted August 30, 2012 Author Posted August 30, 2012 lol yeah i know, i just always wanted to make me my own game. im a fast learner id give it 2-3 months (if im kept interested as i am now throughout this time) ill have a good grip on HTML, PHP, MySQL, and others.. in the past 2 days ive learned quite alot on HTML, its pretty easy, but it might take me longer than just 2-3 onths because of school and work, id say 6 months before i can actually begin making the game :/ Quote
Razor42 Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 HTML is probably the easiest language to learn. In my experiences. Then CSS gets abit more advanced and the same with Javascript, but learning Javascript will help you when learning PHP because it will help you understand functions etc. MySql is also a relativly easy language to learn but probably the language you'll encounter most of your problems with when actually coding. Those are the bare minimum languages to make a game, then obviously you can go onto C, C++, Java and so on to take your skills and game features even further. Quote
Octarine Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 MySql is also a relativly easy language to learn...'cept, it's not actually a language. MySQL is a database system that uses SQL, however you can with a bit of fiddling also access key/values directly thereby doing away with the key aspect of SQL (and thus the notion of the language) itself. Relatively easy? perhaps - but in comparison to what? Whether you choose it, PostgreSQL, SQL Server or any number of KV storage mechanisms is dependant on what you want do. However given the OP's intent; picking up an existing product and slowly learning from it rather than the more difficult route of learning multiple languages and environments in parallel would seem a far wiser course of action.

MrCbrl95 Posted August 31, 2012 Author Posted August 31, 2012 man learning computer languages takes some work. im currently doing HTML and CSS at same time because they work together pretty much. HTML makes the webpage and most of everything in it, but CSS makes things prettier. correct me if im wrong. im going in a good pace, not too fast and not too slow, so i dont forget anything. im memorizing everything im learning as im going. in the last what 3 days ive learned quite alot. i think i can get HTML and CSS down in less than a month. (less if it werent for school and i might also start working soon) Quote
