[SPARTISH]

i was just wondering, what program(S) you use to create regnumonline, what was used before the big update that stoped me from playing and what they use now. any other programs simular out there which i could get for free?

got this wierd feeling to make my own likkle game just for me....yea sad i know

This is a small part of the code for a game I am working on (the skillbar GUI element): http://pastebin.com/m2af596b2
If you don't understand anything of this, I don't recommend you to look into creating any complex game.
You could start out with Game Maker, which will allow you to create small 2D games without any programming knowledge.

Ooooooo gamecode! /me drools Pity that I'm only good with Java, and every other programmer seems to use C++....

Im sure the credits list all the programms used, think you can play them from char select screen(?)

all you need to get started is a text editor(like kwrite what i use or if your a little off in the head and still use windows i spouse you could use notepad) and a compiler(gcc is a free great compiler and is easy to install in most linux distros if not already installed)

then you gotta decide on your engine Ogre, irrlicht like his gui example maybe something like xreal or ioquake 3 or if you got alot of free time make your own engine.

then you gotta think about making game assets theres alot of good free programs for this too like blender for models

since your just starting it would be best to start simpler like gamemaker or contributing to some opensource projects most projects would welcome help from the community nomatter how small

If you really want to make a 3D game but don't know where to start, I suggest Blender, which is a neat 3D modelling program with integrated game and physics engine.

I would assert that RO was probably made with a 3D modelling tool, a raster image editor, an IDE or text editor, and a C++ compiler and linker.

...

C++ is for pussies who can't deal with objects without help. C and assembly forever!

Regnum is C/C++ and Lua (and some inline asm AFAIK).

Windows version gets compiled in Visual Studio, and Linux version in gcc.

You have to be careful when programming in C++, but pointer arithmetic aside it would be easy for you to make the switch from Java.

I'm using python for a small project and it's great. You can actually develop some quite interesting things and even games with it! I mostly use it for tools.

The other two languages I use are C and Java. I use C++, but I try to avoid it.


PS: My knowledge of x86 asm is marginal at best.
PPS: Ruby is for pussies.
PPPS: Real programmers use butterflies.

wow i wasnt expecting alot of replies. i choose to do DiDA in secondary school and ICT in college to help my understanding with this stuff but they didnt teach jak. i mean they were teaching how to use excel

but i have alot of free time and no internet on ma new comp so i thaught why not figure it out urself...jus like i did with trigonometry and pythagoras....lazy ass teachers. but of course i forgot all that stuff after my exams

unfortunately im a type of guy who wont touch adobe or flash softwares and prefere to draw stuffs on paint, i enjoy seeing people struggle with their drawings while i cope easily with my MS Paint

i was bored and made a game on this; http://www.sploder.com/games/members...tle-invasions/
but its kinda cramp and not very fun, i wanna make a proper one for maself.
