So I'm in the swedish variant of 12th grade now.

This means that we have to do a final project, it can be pretty much anything.

I decided to make a game, and I have near 0 prior programming knowledge. So I have about one year to learn a language and construct a game with it.

I'll probably come with updates here as it goes along.

Wish me luck.

Edit: Oh and, it would be totally cool if people tried to remind me to work on this. (last edited by Dragon master on 09-01-09 11:28 AM)

I have pretty much free hands to do anything computer related, so yeah potentially any language can be used.

And it will be C# and XNA. And these are rather set in stone by me.

Awesome, that is an awesome choice with C# and XNA. Maybe you could make a community game for the xbox 360, could even make money doing that.

Yeah I looked into the possiblity of that before starting but that would require me to have an Xbox.

And yeah, C# and XNA seemed to be the best fit of both easy and powerful.

Current progress: I have gotten the programs and started messing around a little.

The name is gonna be B.S.E and it will follow the adventures of Kamiri. (Those who play Phoenix asscademy knows this girl)

Edit: I have managed to draw two sprites, one play controlled and one automatically moving and have them interact with each other.

Not much progress, been spending more time on the story than the engine right now.

Gonna try for Dieing and enemy bullets soon.

Is there any way I can help you with this? I saw that you said you only had a year so I figured I would ask.

CAn you do anything involving:

Graphics/Music/Programming/Sound Effects or similar?

Then we might be able to arrange something.

Otherwise you might get to help out to test it.

I will do whatever you need me to, I have no coding experience so I probably can't help mush with images but I might be able to help with music if you can think of a program that I can use to make and test it digitally.ummmm...Oh! I would also need a theme for the music that I would be making each time (ie: battle scenario, victory, defeat, etc) ummmm...do you know of any program I can do that with? umm...that is about all I can think of at the moment private message me if you need to
(or want to).
~thanks everyone: enjoy the boards!

EDIT: if you need a storyline idea I can help with that too! (last edited by oakenlok on 11-07-09 09:48 AM)

The thing is for this you would actually have to know everything and not ask me for a good program.

And the storyline is all planned out by me. But yeah, you can playtest later.

Good luck, I'd be near useless if I helped to make it, but I'd love to playtest it for you.

Update: My first attempt at coding dieing and enemy bullets were horribly stupid. So I'm instead gonna try another way of doing it and hope it will work better.

Is everything going ok with your project so far, DM?

You haven't responded in more than 3 months.

I haven't said anything because I dislike double posting.

Anyways, basic engine is done, enemies can move and shoot and all that.


Now I just need to slap some graphics and music and make a level and I'm probably done for a demo.
