    I am writing a 2d game in java. The game mechanics are similar to the Pokémon game boy advance series e.g. fire red, ruby, diamond and so on.

  • The Game vs The Game Engine?

    - by Milo
    I was wondering if somebody could tell me how the game and the game engine fit into game development. Specifically what I mean is, the game engine does not actually have a game.

  • Sources (other than tutorials) on Game Mechanics

    - by Holland
    But, I'm not quite sure where I should start from here. I know I have to go and grab an engine to use with some prebuilt libraries, and then from there learn how to actually code a game, etc. All I have right now is some "program Tetris" tutorial for C++ open right now, but I'm not even sure if that will really help me

    - by Sidar
    In a game with different weapons and armor that actually affect more than just player stats, how would you achieve such effect?
