LudumData

Hello everyone!

[raw] LD25LD #25 22. Dec 2012 路 16:39 UTC · 8 days after compo start by Kenaron1703 · 3

Hi everyone! I’m glad to say that I’m constantly visiting the web over and over, and I’m trying to play all of the games that I think that are good of the last LD.

I’ve met with Ludum Dare at the page of Evoland (a game of LD24) at Shio Games. I really liked the game at that moment and in the info said something about the site, and when I got in the first time, there was 1 week ’till this LD started!

I’m living in Argentina, and I talk Spanish here, so sorry if I mistake some letters 馃槢

I’m 14 years old, and I currently know nothing of programming, but I’m looking forward to learn something and make some useful program/game/whatever in any language. I was interested since last year (I think) and I wanted to learn BASIC first, but as long as I get some progress I’ll be happy about it.

If anyone is can/wants to teach me something, I’ll be glad.

See ya everyone!

If you want to develop for Desktop look at “Game Maker” and “Unity”. If you’re interested in learning more low level stuff I recommend going mobile (both IOS and Android will do). I would not recommend learning Basic, instead if you want to focus on programming choose between C# (windows only), Objective C (Apple only), Java (cross-platform) and C++ (cross-platform, very powerful but somewhat hard to master).

I’ll also throw in that Python is very easy to learn programming with, although some disagree with that. Good luck, and keep at it!

Java probably offers the most usefulness for simple syntax plus it automatically allocates/deallocates memory. This is very useful and helps you get more done.

As has been said it depends on what you want to do really. Gamemakers ok if you’ve not programmed before but the scripting language is awful from my experience. If you just want to make some simple games its ok but if you want to learn to program at the same time its probably not the best option.

Thanks to all for the great advices! I think that I’ll start to make some simple games now, just to get some experience, and then I’ll start to learn actual programming. I still don’t know, but I’m sure I’ll make something.

Once again, thanks!
