Willace Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 Okay so I wanted to learn C# to start making t3h Xbox games... which works great... the issue is I need to learn the language in itself... and I'm not a memorizing guy... so you see the problem... however I manage to be able to use GML... and am able to program quite fine with it... However with C# you have to make objects with Code instead of the new object button... So does anybody know, is there like a book or something that can teach me c# or can somebody give some theory on it or something... or maybe a magic EXE to C# thing (that way I can make games in GM then transfer them to C# and make xbox games... w00t) (BTW Luke after trying to learn C# I have a new found appreciation for what you've accomplished here(and any game programmer anywhere for that matter)... as believe you've used C# for parts of this game) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aku Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 I'm actually think our server is coded in C++, but it might be C#. In any case, C# isn't object oriented. Now, there are tons of books on learning C#. I mean literally tons. There are websites too. cplusplus.com has great articles for learning C++ and I bet there is a C# equivalent out there. Oh and I'd suggest you don't go for XNA right away. That's a tad bit too ambitious to be pulled off right off the bat :D If you know Java, I'd suggest playing around with the Slick2D Library a bit. Yeah, programming is advanced stuff. Requires tons of practical experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawthorneluke Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 Server's C++, Game launcher/updater's C# C# is VERY OOP (Object Orientated Programming) Looking at examples and altering them etc ftw :D (For me, using C# with .NET for what I did was rather very simple, simpler than lots of things I did with GameMaker lol, but that's because a lot of it was just simple form stuff using the awesome Microsoft Visual C# 2008 lol) No simple magic to do it for you though, well, except your own hard work :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willace Posted December 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 guess I'll have to keep googling xP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aku Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 Oh wait, right, indeed it is <.<; I wonder why the heck I just mixed up C and C# <.<; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawthorneluke Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 * hawthorneluke googles "xna tutorials" and finds the site he had a look at before: http://www.xnadevelopment.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willace Posted December 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 yeah the site itself has some tuts... but I'll check this site out.... I just want to actually figure out how to properly state objects n stuff... because I can look at the code and tell what it does, but I can't create it :D kinda like Spanish...
