So lately I am being called by the gods of the digital sphere to reenter the world of programming and game design. My computer simply doesn't work well for Trespasser anymore but I am very interested in doing such things again. I took Visual Basic and Visual C# in high school (one year each) which actually helped lead me into Trespasser to begin with. Since those years in school, the only programming experience I've had is with Trespasser's internal scripting engine, but when you include the use of variable triggers and complex set-ups it is a lot like programming. Anyway, to get back into things I am planning to use a platform my teacher informed me about called "Darkbasic", which is free with ads. Basically I want to learn how to make games of various kinds from the ground up (minus machine code and all that, of course
). I plan on posting my exploits and creations here, and will probably be asking some basic questions now and then. I'm also open to suggestions for where to go in terms of game programming, but I don't want to work in engine-specific coding environments just yet.
Wish me luck!
