Gamming

[lshepar5]

I am interested in games like age of empires and command and conqure but how do they do it i mean that has to be alo of codding.

What do you think?

what i am asking is what all goes into that kind of game development, i have seen some of the codding and it is like miles long.

Obviously it's a lot of coding... what are you asking exactly? How to develop that type of game?

Write a game engine with multiple parts:

1) Graphics and Animation Rendering
2) Script Parsing (You don't expect the game storyline to be hardcoded in c++ now do you?)

A lot more.

After you have the engine programmed the hard part comes.

Drawing the graphics and animations, recording the sounds, putting together a story and scripting it.

Think of it as, since you are the programmer you are the one programming the backbone and tools to glue everything together.

What?! Are you implying the engine is the easy part???

mackabee +1 for trolling

I made that statement intentionally because I wanted it to grab attention. Roar

All in all though, it depends. Something is only hard if you don't know how to do it.

A better choice of words could be, the longer/tedious part comes

You can't +1 yourself!
