Another tip I can give you is this: make a version of tic tac toe (or some other established and simple game) that runs on your mom's computer. Why? Because the hardest thing about making games is finishing them. It's good to learn what it takes to finish one with a very simple project... so you know what you're in for when you start frying bigger fish.
Good luck!  |
I have finished my animation. I think I did it in an unconventional way for 2d. I painted all the body parts in paint.net. Then I have build the body with code. Next time I'm going to paint a whole body, and change it in different ways, so when I play them fast I get an animation.
Now I plan on making a simple 2D platform game. I want to build a one screen level where my character can walk, jump and climb. So I'm going to have to put basic physics in it, collision detection and some more advanced input detection. I'm really loving this!
Here is a screenshot of my first animation. I can't capture it as video because I don't have the software.
