/vr/ - Retro Games

>>2188061
Learn a language, Java, C#, C, C++.
I personally think Java is the easiest to learn, but I like C# as my preference. Also this is hardcore not /vr/.

>>2188076
Ok, will look into java then.

before learning a language i think you should start with something intuitive like game maker or flash, see if it's really your thing first
remember good stuff came out of pseudo languages like binding of isaac, spelunky

>>2188087
Learning flash is a colossal waste of time.
BoI was a broken peice of shit because of flash.

You should ask the AGDG thread on /vg/.

>>2188124
but it gets you a quick prototype with minimal programming language knowledge
i just said flash out of the top of my head, probably game maker is better

>>2188061

Game Maker, RPG maker, etc.

What sort of game do you want to make?

Why is the comic in mudspeak but the characters are white?

Also how is this retro?

It's a translation. http://zenpencils.com/comic/william-ernest-henley-invictus/

>how is this retro

It's not, but since deletion is imminent it doesn't hurt to at least point OP in the right direction before the delete.

and spanish people sound like they should be brown but you go there and everyone is actually white wtf

>>2188191
Well if you go by abc news standards then I guess they're white.

>>2188193

Spanish people are white - i.e. actual Spaniards.

South/Central Americans, on the other hand, are not.

>Spanish people are white - i.e. actual Spaniards.
Oh man it's funny how a race of people suddenly become white.
They aren't white. Not to mention they have been a Muslim country multiple times in their history.

>>2188239

Spaniards don't comprise the whole race, they're a single ethnicity within the race.

>They aren't white.

Yes, they are.

>Not to mention they have been a Muslim country multiple times in their history.

You don't have to be brown to be Muslim.

Unless you're planning to go back to 1999 and making your game this is not retro.

>>2188259
Show me a pic of a street in Spain full of white people that aren't obviously tourists.

>>2188259
Spaniards are as white as argentineans.

I thought that /v/r wasn't subjected by the stupidity related to racism.

>>2188380
Why are upset about being brown is the real question. Maybe stop being a self hating racist.

you need to learn python and pygame, it is the #1 solution for today in 2015. fully object-oriented and suppored by virtually every modern system out there

>>2188383
nice deflection, /pol/

back to your containment pod

>>2188404
Must be suffering living in your shoes.

>>2188383
>>2188407

>>2188417
I'll remember that the next time I see a white Spaniard.

stop responding to bait, you double niggers

>>2188385
oh sorry thought this was /g/

OP i have more respect for /vr/ so i'm willing to give a non-trollish and detailed answer, but i don't really want to bother if you aren't 100% committed to achieving this goal. there are quite a few branches of mathematics (not ALL sections but the essential ones for graphics programming), programming languages (C at the minimum) and APIs you will need to learn. Doesn't matter if it's only a 2D game, because even those today are written with a 3D API at an orthographic projection (you will learn what these terms mean if you read the books i recommend) with the Z coordinate ignored.
