Hi Laurel,
In 1980 I bought a Texas Instruments 99 4a home computer. I typed in the
programming examples from the manual that came with it. I then experimented
with the source code trying to figure out what each command did and how to
change it to do what I wanted it to do. I just have done the same thing every
since. So that is how I have learned to program games. Well experimenting
with sample code that I have found as well as getting help from other
programmers such as Phil Vlasak, David Greenwood, Allen Maynerd etc.
Today I would probably recommend BGT to a new person that wished to try to
learn to create games.
As I say to those people though. You have to learn how to take baby steps
before you can run with creating games. And it is slow and frustrating when
you have a game idea, but you have to learn the steps, that is the command code
lines to do all of the things that you need to do to create games.
The blind accessible games that I have created over the years and are on my web
site are;
Awesome Homer, Baseball, BattleShip, Black Jack, Bop It, Concentration,
coupling, Craps, Draw Poker, Football, Golf, Hangman, Homer on a Harley, Life,
Mach 1, Mach 1 tts, Master Mind, Monopoly, Pong, Puppy1, Reaction, Roulette,
Simon, Skunk, Slot Machine, Snakes and Ladders, Spanker, Star Mule, Triple J
Shooter, Trivia game engine, Trucker, Yahtzee
Braille reference guide, Brain, Reader, Waver, Batting practice, Golf course
maker, monopoly board maker
