Ever wanted to make a game? / myLot

Since I was a child I have always had an interest in making a computer game. When I was younger I started out learning the QBasic programming language and moved on to, I can't remember if it was C or C++. The thought of making a game always fascinated me and the thought of using your imagination to create something people interact with sounded fun. In this day and age there are all kinds of editors out there that allow you to make a computer game without having to know all the programming language. I have often started making a game but I find that I just loose interest when I'm working on it alone. There is no one to bounce idea's off of, or to help with the creation of the game. Have you ever wanted to make a video game? Or have you ever made one?

Haha, yeah I still get into playing computer games from time to time but nothing like I used to. What about games on your phone or tablet?

@shubhu3 I am the worlds worst Sudoku player. I tried a couple times, but me and numbers... I think it would be easier to grow wings and fly

. My step sister loves Sudoku though, she would sit for hours with one of those books going through page after page. Non-video games are still a lot of fun and I think they get lost in this age of technology

I started making one on a program that allows you to do it graphically. I don´t remember the name of the program, but my laptop broke off and I had to pospone it.

Ah, that's a bummer. I have used a program that was done graphically and just creating events with options listed. Called RPG Maker. Their software is pretty good and can get quite involved. I have looked at Unity a few times but there is just so much.

The thought doesn't interest me all that much but my kids were pretty good at programming and stuff. One now works as a computer technician and plays computer games a lot.

Computer technician is a good job, great field to get into. I eventually broke off from computer programming and got into HTML, it's the working with code that I find fun for some reason lol

It's tough to me to make a computer game, you try it out. Can you use Artificial Intelligence(AI) to make a computer game?

AI is way more advanced than I could probably ever hope to do. Even AI though will start with programming and then evolve. I would suppose that an AI coupld make a computer game, after all AI should be very similar to a human just electronics. I have started a few games using the RPG Maker software. Very easy and you don't need to know a coding language although knowing the basics of coding will help understand some of the eventing options faster.
