C++ is too hard. Is there anything more simple that I could use for making DS and PSP games? Like, a programming GUI where you type something like "menu" and it'll make all the code for a menu for you?
You could find some open source code to use a template for theft and reproduction. But if you're not willing to actually make your game, you might as well, y'know, not make a game.
I'm willing to make it. C++ is just way too hard. Spent months reading page 1 of one tutorial, and I still don't know how to make a damn 'hello world' app. I'm just fed up with tutorials and want to use a programming language that I don't have to learn.
Gotta learn it to use it. Even python, while considered to be incredibly easy, still requires learning or at least a background in object-oriented programming to understand.
you shouldn't be starting with game programming anyway. C++ is the most commonly used language for writing games, or indeed any software. You're just going to have to deal with it. I very much doubt its possible to use anything else for DS or PSP.
Oh. Then how do I start with small applications? And I don't give a flying fuck about that 'hello world' shit every single fricken tutorial assumes all the readers are there to make. Edit: Would a ROM hack for a partial menu translation count as a small application, if I knew what all the stuff said/went to and actually knew how to edit ROMs?
I've got nothing else to say then. I'll leave this to somebody else to deal with in a way they see fit.
Inunah, Just stop this crap. Seriously. If you want to make a game with no background skills on hand, then you will need to go through the same arduous learning process that many programmers (including me) had to undertake. That includes starting out with "Hello world" program, which is typically the first step towards becoming a game programmer. Either you have the desire to learn to make a game, or... There's the door. Those are your options. Take your pick.
I agree with all of the opinions here, If you don't have any effort, then you shouldn't even thinking making one.
There's http://www.renpy.org/ , a visual novel engine. Obviously, it's for the PC instead of the DS/PSP and only for visual novels (though it's possible to code RPGs on it, though that's tough I heard) , but I think the language should be easier than C++? Of course, it's still effort. Something tells me it won't work anyhow.
