And upon learning to code, become video game developer
your first game should probably be as complicated as a pong clone. Such a simple game right? well, let me list all of the things that it took to make pong:
- 2 paddles, one controlled by an ai and both cant go off the screen
- a way to control one paddle with the arrow keys
- a ball that will not fly out of the screen and will bounce off the paddles
- when the ball misses the paddle, it will disappear, add a point to the score, and reappear at the center of the screen,flying in a random direction
- also an entire way to keep score and when one paddle (ai or human) gains enough points, it will win.
- (optional) the ball will gain velocity every time it gets hit.
(sorry if i missed anything :/)
from there you will be able to code bigger and better games, until you can make the next RuneScape or Minecraft!
That plus learning to code should bring you through quarantine!
