Who created Cave Story? And if not one person, how many people created it? also, What exactly was used to code it? I've never seen anything pieced togehter like Cave Story really.
True Hitoare said:C, C++, and C# seem to be pretty commonly-used languages in video game programming. I'm going to college for programming (mainly focused on games), and we started out with C, moved quickly into C++, and I think, other than maybe C# later, those are the only languages we do.
If you're just starting out, though, maybe you should try something like Java (first language I used). It seems to be easier to learn, and, once you have one language down pretty well, it's easier to learn new ones.
Toe Fungus said:Omg, are you serious. How on earth could he program somthing like this on C++. I spent like a week trying to work on C++, boy... is it a program and a half. Seriously, I'm not sure why he bothered with it just to make a 2d platformer. Come on, I wanted an example for opening a window... it took like 100 lines of code just for that.
Thats a bit dissapointing really, I've always aspired to making something like this, and I really thought the program he was using to design it was perfect, but I am certainly not going to put half my life into learning C++.
Damn, and thanks
Blackhole said:C# is great for beginning programmers. You may argue that it sucks and it MS infested, but its really a great language, excellent for writing GUI based programs in, and its very easy to use. Once you know C#, C++ is much easier to understand.
Also, may i interject that it would seem as though pixel used some sort of RPG maker, or at least a prebuilt graphics engine.
On another note, why would you say Pixel "seemed" to have used an "RPG Maker" or something of the sort?
Also, I don't think a simple window would be 100 lines of code, unless you were programming Natively for Windows
Oh yeah, DestronPrime, people here usually use Sue's Workshop; they aren't programming from scratch, but actually changing the data files that go into the Cave story program. I haven't really looked at it too much, so anyone correct me if I'm wrong.
