  hey,guys.i'am just a game beginer,and i'm using android to make a game like FeedingFrenzy.i just don't kown where to start and the main point of the game..so,is there advice or resources?thanks very much.   
  You can try SDL with C++.You can make graphic game with SDL and C++.This site may help youhttp://lazyfoo.net/SDL_tutorials/If you have experience in C++(programming language),just go that site to learn it.If you don't have experience in C++,you should go here first:http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/For compiler,you can use dev-c++,you can download it from softpedia(Don't know why I cannot enter official site.)Hope it help.*Don't afraid to ask question! :)   ;Quote:Original post by game overYou can try SDL with C++.You can make graphic game with SDL and C++.This site may help youhttp://lazyfoo.net/SDL_tutorials/If you have experience in C++(programming language),just go that site to learn it.If you don't have experience in C++,you should go here first:http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/For compiler,you can use dev-c++,you can download it from softpedia(Don't know why I cannot enter official site.)Hope it help.*Don't afraid to ask question! :)thanks game over.forgive my poor english.in fact ,my question is how to design and programme this game..?and is there any available source code.   ;Quote:Original post by game overFor compiler,you can use dev-c++,you can download it from softpedia(Don't know why I cannot enter official site.)Why you shouldn't use Dev-C++.  The official website is down permanently AFAIK, and it's really unfortunate that this outdated and buggy piece of software is still available elsewhere.I'm also moving this topic to our For Beginners forum.   ;Quote:Why you shouldn't use Dev-C++ [www.jasonbadams.net]. The official website is down permanently AFAIK, and it's really unfortunate that this outdated and buggy piece of software is still available elsewhere.Thanks for your tips,jbadams.I don't know much about dev-c++. :pSo use other IDE.For example:Eclipse.Let's back to our topic.It is not that hard.Just make a collision function like this:if x(vector) of player fish is same as x(vector) of other fish AND y(vector) of player fish is same as y(vector) of other fish{ (check for collision) if player is bigger then the fish that hit{  eat it! }else{  die }}also create very many variable likes game start,game pause,vectorDon't know how much experience in programming you have and what programming language you use.Please tell me so you can get a better answer. :)   ;Quote:Original post by 344819350i'm using android to make a gameGiven that is your goal, the best resource for this is The Android Developer's Guide, which should contain everything an experienced programmer needs to create games for that platform.  Obviously you'll need to learn some of the basics of programming before this is of any use to you.  Android programming is done using Java, so I suggest you ignore game over's recommendation of learning C++/SDL and start by teaching yourself to program using Java on a Windows PC.  Once you've learned the basics the information provided by the Android Developer's Guide should then be enough for you to start creating your game.So, how do you go about learning to program Java on a Windows PC?First, you'll need the Java Development Kit (JDK) available from the Sun Java website, here.  On the same website you'll also find a reference section containing lots of information to help you get started.  To start with the tutorials and "New to Java Programming Center" will help you to get up and running and creating your first simple programs.Does that help? [smile]   ;  I think Java and c++ have their own advantage and disadvantage.You can check out here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Java_and_C%2B%2BI don't know which is better to you.It is good to research before you learn programming language.You can learn it more effectively. :)   ;Quote:Original post by game overI think Java and c++ have their own advantage and disadvantage.They do, but the particular person you're trying to give advice to wants to create Android games, and therefore needs to learn Java rather than C++.A good programmer will learn multiple languages during their career, but given this particular user's goal Java is a clear best choice.
