I have one doubt about world game developing. I want to do a kind of platform game mixed with RPG (Side Scroll).

What's the best to draw the world, - Draw everything than use the camera to move around the world - Draw just what you see as the player moves draw the new stuff.

I'm new at this and didn't had any course for it. So if anyone can help me thanks :)

PS: Any recommendation to learning game concept, like drawing world theory, play etc.. (not code and i want to 2D and i only see books for 3D stuff)

Game Design Dilemma

as seen on Geeks with Blogs - Search for 'Geeks with Blogs'
I'm working on a 2d tilemapped RPG. I've actually made quite a fair amount of progress, but I'm at a point where I need to make a UI decision.

I feel I'm a bit closer to my goal. The bad news is today I didn't cut code either. However, not all is lost because… >>> More
