Hello, I'm searching for a good and easy language to do 2D Games, like BYOND/Tibia.
Do you know some?
Tell me!
Thanks.

DM.
|
Game Maker.
As far as I know, anything besides Game Maker and DM is either: 1. A lot more difficult 2. A lot crappier ( RPG Maker for instance ) | |
Hum.
I need more opinions. Come on people D: | |
You're on byond. Go for that. DM is easy to learn (as opposed to a lot of the others) and it's FREE!
| |
Java is seriously awesome.
| |
For 2D games? Ehhh ... as much as I do love the language, it's not my first choice for such an application, particularly for a developer who I would think, is looking for a RAD style framework for 2D games more-so than general language skills.
| |
I had similar basic byond client functionality in one night with java. Tile system, entities interacting, etc...
check it out at http://www.joeysturgis.com/roguelike | |
What are you using for that? I assume it's not just layered on top of Graphics2D?
| |
It is directly java2d (canvas on applet, bufferstrategy)
| |
For one evening that's not bad, certainly. Is this something you'd be happy to share the source code for, to allow people a bit of a look as to what Java dev is like? I have plenty of non-gaming things, but they hardly seem appropriate to show here.
| |
Sharing all the source would be scary... I'll paste bin the level class :D

Much obliged. Gives people a good idea of what Java looks like, what an evening's work might produce (although I am assuming general programming experience on your part helped there), that sort've thing.
| |
Yeah. DM is cake compared to java, obviously. But if you don't want to use DM, there's what you're in for with pretty much ANY language.
| |
Olol. Python.
