kitkitkit Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 See, im no programmer, but i would like to start. I would like to start to learn to edit other programs (especially games). Does anybody have a good program that i can use to teach me or for me to use in the editing bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 What programming language? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaKiri Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 If you want to learn how to program, get a book on the language. I like the O'Reilly ones (for Perl anyway) personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinch Paxton Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 You want to hack into other games? That is much harder than programming. To do that you need a Hex editor. I can program, but I can't hack into games. You want to learn to make games...Try Dark Basic, or Blitz Basic. You want to learn how to make Applications..Try Visual Basics You want to be a proffessional......try C++ Pincho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alt_f13 Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 The Macromedia Flash language (ActionScript) is insanely easy to learn. It also teaches you many of the basics of Basic w/o having to learn actual syntax ( it has an error free code editor built in; you could also turn it off if you want to do more advanced coding ). In that sense it is a great way to start out and enables you to branch out easily. And seeing as it is object based like VB, making small games is easy as pie. Except with flash, you can control the objects behaviors with the greatest of ease, as that is what it is meant to do. Of course you have to buy Flash first. Anyone know any good VB style all-in-one code editors/compilers for Java? Or for any other common language for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayonara Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 It's not true that actionScript is syntax-free, it uses a javascript-style dot syntax. It is insanely easy to learn though, as you say. And it's far more powerful than it first seems too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
