This article is going to be about how to get started with programming (focused on game making). The following points will be reached out to in this atricle:

• Where to start

• The basics

Where to start:

First off, one of my friends said “Before you can run you must know how to walk”.

I’m using this as an excample because it fits with the point. Before you want to actually start game programming you should learn a more simpler language like Python or Delphi just to undertand the uses of classes and threads, ect. After that you could start with your gamemaking language that you want to learn like C++, Java, ect.

The basics:

By understanding the concept of classes and such you spareyourself a lot of time. All you have to learn then is your main language and the game engine interface that you want to use.

Here are some links to game engines and programming languages I recommend:

• Code:Blocks (C++, C and vaious Game Engines) Download the setupmingw32.exe

-CryENGINE3 (Not sure what language it is uses)

-Java (Eclipse)
