Greetings Mmowned Members,
I am here to talk a programming today and to tell you about the good sides and the bad sides of it. Did you ever get that feeling when you turn on "World of Warcraft" you say to yourself or many other people "I wanna make the Best MMORPG"? Well some times everyone wants to make a new game like that and become rich but, its not that easy lets me tell you how it works!
1) You need to have a Very clear almost like the spring Water or Mexico Cancun Water of A programming Language. There are many languages you can choose from theres is C++, Java, C, C#, Python. Those languages seem to be the most used in games today. Now we need to tell what the best language to use is C++, Java! The reason I say that is because if you want to make a game you need to start off with a good language.
2) You need to have a compiler you are prolly thinking right now "Wow! This sounds really hard I don't know if I wanna program" Nah!!! all A compiler is a program that you right the learned code in that you got and it makes it a program.
For example a Simple "Hello World" Application
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << "Hey Wow this is my first program ITS ALIVE!"
return 0;
}
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
You would not Include the '\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" in your program thats just to show you where it Starts and ends. We will learn more about that once we go farther in!
Next lets see here! O yes, you need to be Fluent in A scripting Language like LUA, Networking, And Game programming like sprite42.move() a sentence like that would be from a game maby like warcraft when you move around it excutes that sentence so it works. Now I dont know exactly how Warcraft Works but I know they made it supper fast with all there Programmers/Staff.
3) Compiler! Alright so you want a compiler and think you may be able to do it! Well guess what you can! Here is a link to a compiler Website for you!
http://sourceforge.net/project/downl...or=superb-east
Alright there is the link now we will go throw how to install and use it!
1) Save the program to Program Files!
2)Look for a file called Devcpp-4.9.9.2 setup!
3)Double Click it!
3)Click "OK" Wait till it uploads data.
4)Language would be english, "I agree" don't uncheck any of those buttons because you prolly don't know what they even do just click next.
5) Install to Local C: Drive or program files call it Dev-Compiler. Click "Install"
6) After what seemed like ages its finnaly done!
7) Now it will run!
Close the tip, Goto File->New->Project->Click once only once on Console Application. Now at the left hand corner we have Name type in Project 1.
*TIP Everytime you make a new project you must call it something new!
9)For now just put in "Project C++"
10) Now a box comes up click save!
11) Cheers your on your first page now type in this
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << "Hello World!"
return 0;
}
12) Now what you wanna do is make sure it looks all good and now errors and click on your keyboard Control-F9! It will now compile! Now to run it Control-F10! There ya go now you go your first Application if it doesnt run make sure everything is lowercasses C++ is CASE-Senestive.
4) Some Books, E-books, Tutorials!
