Few basic questions in Game development

VJ 1 · 2013-02-06T11:42:23

Hello everyone, Good morning. I am totally new to game development but i have good understanding of C++. So, i am thinking of writing some 2D games for mobile platforms (only iOS and Android) in C++. the basic questions I have are - 1. Can i use C++, OpenGL ES and Box2D (for physics) alone to create iOS and Android games? my understanding is i can use these to create games graphics, logic and Android/iOS APIs to detect user actions like swiping/touching etc. Pls. correct me if i am wrong. 2. If i am right in the above question, then is that approach a difficult one compared to using frameworks like Coco2dx, mosync to create games sorry if these questions seem too silly...am very new to game programming and just started thank you

Personal life and your private thoughts always effect your career. Research is the intellectual backbone of game development and the first order. Version Control is crucial for full management of applications and software. The better the workflow pipeline, then the greater the potential output for a quality game. Completing projects is the last but finest order.

I actually recently put together a similar list with a bit more info. In my case, I kept to just engines that you can actually license, as well as stuff thats still actually in use. That's the challenge with this stuff, too much information is almost as bad as none at all.

You'd be better off learning Objective-C for iOS, and Java for Android

I would suggest you check out libgdx. Its a game dev framework that allows you to port games over to html5, iOS and android. You write mainly in java but the option to use c++ is always there.
