Hi everyone,
I'm trying to develop a game for windows phone 8, but I have no idea where to start. The only coding I know as of today are the basics in html, CSS and javascript, as I am making my way through the tutorials on the website codeacademy.
The game I'm trying to develop is similar to the scott pilgrim game (is this considered 2d or 3d?) on xbox live, but without co-op and it's simply going to be an one level(onscreen), endless, beat-em up brawler with some sweet moves. This isn't meant to be a full-fledged game, but an companion to another product I'm developing.
I've been reading around this forum around the internet all week long and I can't find a definitive answer on how to get started. I've only read arguments on which is better, C# or C++, and from that I only been able to gather, if I'm correct, C# is the easiest to use, but C++ is the more powerful tool, but harder because you have to manage memory.
So knowing what game I am trying to create, can someone please point me in the right direction. I'm not trying to be a professional programmer and create the next halo or anything, but I'm eager to learn what it takes to make the game I want to, and I'm up for the challenge.
Also, what other programs will I need to use, and do you have any advice on where to learn them, or what books to read?
Also, I may end up porting the games to ios, and android, but baby steps first.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thanks in advance for your reply.
