Game Development Tutorial

[johnno56]

I have been a fan of 8 bit for many years. My first descent 8 bit machine was the Amstrad CPC464 back in 1985. Used that thing until it died from exhaustion... lol The only memento I have left is the original spiral-bound manual... But now, I use more 'up to date' versions of Basic. QB64 and RCBasic. I am not after a game engine. I struggle enough with trying to code simple games. I am afraid that creating an Engine exceeds my talents (I use talents 'very' loosely... lol) My greatest difficulty is generating ideas for games... then trying to figure out the best method of turning those ideas into code...

I am not sure if I am making any sense... I want to learn 'how' to develop games. I have seen many tutorials for various types of engines. But they mainly focus on 3D type of games. But finding tutorials for 2D, 8 bit style games, for Basic... meh...

I will keep looking... Thank you for your time...
