I was just wondering if anyone here is into makeing there own game(s) or has made there own game(s)

I have started makeing a few but havent finished anything of substance yet.
I program in GML witch is pretty basic and easy to learn as it is drag and drop visual basic sytle editor but it has the option of handcodeing it all as well

If you Awnserd yes to the poll or have made a game please tell us about it and if possible shear a link to it as well

I made a simple tic-tac-toe game in c++ once (real pain)..
And of course a random number generator, bigger number wins

I've made several games, mostly in Java. See, when my buddies and I took an AP Computer Science course back in high school, we ended up finishing all the assigned work really fast, so we spent weeks working on our own games. Mostly text-based RPGs, but we also made a cool little artillery game, and we reverse-engineered the code for Asteroids to make some AWESOME new versions of it.

Never done a game , becouse if i want to make a game i wouldnt be able to do it just with programing skills but i need graphics too , and becouse i'm not a fan on working on graphics i have passed that. What about console games ? maybe .. one day

I once made an painful attempt at making a text-based adventure back in the early 90's when they were still being played. It didn't go so well.

I tried to make a game once but coding isnt my thing i just like to do the graphics

Hey, I'm the exact opposite: I love the coding but can't do graphics. Maybe we oughta team up on a game

thats a pretty good idea

I have lost count of the number of computer games i have created. Many of them are small simple ones, but there are a couple of more complex ones with (fake) 3D scrolling, fancy graphic, and great explosions, and a couple of puzzle games, and a virtual verion of a boardgame I created many years ago.

The biggest one I was involved with was Hairpin 1 and 2. A formula 1 car racing game. The first was released as public domain. A company in england picked it up and gave us a list of changes. They said if we did that they would release it. So we spent a year on it (2 of us -in our final year of high school!) and resubmitted it. The company went belly up about that time however So instead we released it through Deja Vu Software, and we get royalties for evey copy sold......I am just waiting on my first payment now....... I was also involved a bit with Screech which is still in development, although I haven't contributed to that one for a few years now.

Most of these games are for the Amiga, some are for PC. My most recent stuff is in Java, but none of that is noteworthy, mainly stuff like breakout - It was really to test dynamic music algorithms.

Well I made quite some games with GML especially with the 6.1 version!! Well its supports 3D !! and i really like it!

once i'v tried to code a text based rpg on VBasic. The beginning was quite good, but i didnt finished it, the game should be interesting and long.
that would take a long time, so then i was thinking: "ok, tommorow il finish it" and like that every day
today i remember it like a nice try to get a game-coding skills

I've made some games. With Game Maker though, so I'm not very proud of them..Learning C++ at the moment.

I want to learn C more in depth, atm i just play CS n code sites

I made 2d game once in pascal ,then ported it to flash ,but didn`t realy finish it ,I just made it to see if I can make one.
