Hey im trying to code my own mafia game, but i just cant find any way to do it, its realy annoying me now...


Any Help?

Goodluck

You need to learn code and trust me, there's a lot to learn...especially for a mafia game. Type in HTML coding help or something. That will teach you the basics. Do you have software to code the game in?

yeah mate you will struggle you have to be good.


And its a lot harder than the forum lol.

Well......Erm.....sorta........no, but if it costs i'll get it!

So you want to make your own game but have no idea where to start.
Lookup HTML. I think Dreamweaver can even be used?
Lots to learn though, i'm no game maker but i've attempted one, i'm telling you, it's tough.

Try java

Unfortunately, to be able to make even the 'simple' games that you play on the web requires a hell of a lot of time and effort bundled with knowledge of a high level programming language such as Java although i have seen visual basic being used create small games like donkey kong etc..

Good site to get you learning html and all that.. but if you have dreamweaver, you probably won't need to know that much HTML..

Java is a option but still hard. You can get code snipets though like a simple chatroom etc but nothing good for a mafia game. Once you learn HTML or php etc which will take ages to do, you will have to sort out domain and hosts etc. If you create a game at a good standard at your age Jack, I'll be astounded!

Do a simple forum or something. I'm doing that at the moment and I've come across some problems just with the hosts. I've got to upload the forum to the site yet!

What language you want to use will depend on the kind of game you want to develop, but whatever direction you're taking, it will take time to learn enough to build a game from scratch.

If you just want to pull a game together quickly, something like this may be more up your street : http://www.yoyogames.com/gamemaker/

If you want to start learning to code "properly", i think squeak ( http://www.squeak.org/ ) is a brilliant idea. Its Object Orientated from the start, so migration to java etc isn't that big a jump.

on my way to making one!
going to be like http://www.themafiastreet.com/

Good luck mate.

How is this going?

Are you making a text based game, like with PHP?

All too complicated for a little boy, may aswell be capped.

Lol thought you would give up

Lol, well im doing work related to this atm, so maybe in a few years you'll be able to handle it. Takes alot of time lol

what work are you doing?

Working on a game.. Well beginning to

What sort of a game is it?

Just a text based game using php and all that jazz

Bit short of ideas at the moment, but im working on sample scripts that would work in the same way as in the game.

I'm thinking of having some features similar to TMS, just without the spelling mistakes, and hopefully better lol

But it wont be a mafia game lol

will it have staff on it?
