Update

A few updates:
  • I made a calculator a few days ago (with a twist)
  • All the games I make will be uploaded to MediaFire (the file hosting site) where they'll be available to download via a link on the right-hand side of this blog. Hopefully MediaFire will makes it easy to download them.
  • Over the past 3 days I've been working hard on a text-based game currently called 'Battle Monsters' (don't worry, this isn't going to be its final name).
Basically the tutorials I'm following told me to make a very simple fighting game, where you can choose to either attack or defend. This gave me all sorts of ideas for improvements, but what intially started as a few good ideas has spiralled out of control. The game's code is now so vast I'm having trouble navigating it. Just as well I learned how to use methods, which are essentially 'mini-programs'. They're great because they let you call (use) a piece of code whenener you want it.

I have a burning enthusiam for this current game, but I know soon it'll burn out and I'll be left with a mountain of unfinished and confusing code. So I'm trying to rein the game's scope as much as possible. I hope that once I've finished the initial foundation of the game everything else will be easy, and cosmetic.

Once I've finished this game I'll eventually move on to super-cool graphics! (and not just text-based games).

Here's some screenshots of 'Battle Monsters':
