What is the Best Way to Start Building Your Own Games? I'd say going from dynamic to strict typing makes you actually value the fact that you're working in a lower-level, or if not, the language isn't for you (yet). I would never recommend a total newbie to start out with a strictly typed language and worry about float or double, int or long, signed or unsigned, byte or char. Let alone other complexities. We don't learn our driver's licenses on a truck because going back to a car from that is so much easier. |

What's in a name? It's a terrible name to google however, if you only know the "AAAaaaAaAaaaaAAaaaaAAAAAA!!" part. Just one A too little or too many reveals completely irrelevant results: google.de/search?q=AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAA I do agree with all other aspects though. |

Cross Platform 2D Graphics Engines Correct, there are many cocos2d ports but all use their own language. Objective-C for iPhone, Java for Android, Javascript for Web, Python for the original PC version, and C++ for the new Windows port which may or may not support Windows Mobile (it's unclear about that). Other than name and design philosophy they are not interchangeable in any way. |

Unit Testing a C#/XNA Game Project Good answer. I also wanted to post exactly that article. Game Object component systems are a great way to seperate logic and be able to unit-test these individually. What no unit test can do, however, are the complex interactions of multiple paths of game logic interacting at realtime in random sequence. That would be like trying to unit test the weather forecast. :) |
