In Topic: Making a 2d side-scrolling MMORPG like "MapleStory"

08 May 2013 - 09:39 AM

I started writing games with the same I CAN DO IT NOT MATTER WHAT attitude as you haha. The fact is you are not ready for anything. If you don't know where to start and mmorpg you are not ready to start an mmorpg. What you could do is make a mario clone, and build up from there. Learn the fundamentals: rendering, collision, audio, dialog boxes, combat, ect. Build your game as a single player game and then figure out how to network it later. SFML 2.0 is wonderful you should check it out. It has modules for Rendering, Audio, Network, input, everything you could possibly want as a starting developer. 

 

I'm not telling you it's REALLY HARD to get done, I'm telling you its near IMPOSSIBLE if you haven't started with the basics. If you cannot make a single player game, you most certainty cannot make a mmorpg! I learned the hard way by ignoring everyones advice and wasting all of high school not finishing projects. 

 

Start with a kick-ass single player game; make the sequel multiplayer!

Unless you want to go with a pre-built engine like game-maker, SFML is as good of a choice as any. Games take time; Braid is a 2d platformer and it took 3 years to create. At least with SFML and C++ you're learning transferable skills.

Don't think of this as an android specific problem. Your question isn't very clear, but if you're looking for collision detection and physics there is a nice android port of box2d.

As for the "rectangular bound bitmap," I'm unsure of what you're talking about. Rendering is done with Opengl ES and is pretty much the same as Opengl.
Take a look at andEngine, It'll make development alot easier if you're a novice.
