Currently i am using only java with eclipse IDE, My GL takes a whopping 5 minutes to render (no exaggerations), AND that's a BIG con
Is this in the emulator or on a real device?
Real device
thanks for the response....
1. actually i just started to learn android studio, and i dont know if its possible to make a games in android studio.
2. and right now i still don't know where to start to learn how to make a games.
3. what language do i need to study.?
4. as you've said we are in fast moving technology and I can't decide if i will study native language like Obj-C and C++ because I'm worried that maybe this language will no longer exist in the next decade.
5. If i were you what language and where i will start?
thanks again.....
1. Android studio is an IDE, you will still need an Engine if you want to start coding games fast. Gamemaker, Unity and Unreal4 are the most popular ones you could start with
2. If you choose Unity, good beginners tutorial comes with it
3. If you choose Unity then you need to learn C#
4. You can't live with that kind of philosophy otherwise you will end up not learning anything. Most languages improve on functionality with time, but the basics will be the same. No learning is a waste. C++ has been around for 30 years and still going strong. If you learn Object-C it will never be a waste
5. Depends on your decisions. If you want to start gradually as frob suggests, then start with C# (or Java) on desktop with basic coding and gradually increase the complexity. You could do some googling, there are many good tutorials online
On the other hand if you want to jump straight in to making games you can start with either Unity or Gamemaker. But you still need to learn C# if you choose C#
If you feel overloaded with information, You could ask yourself: whats my target? how much time have I got for learning? do I want to be a good programmer or do I just want to make games quick? If its the first, follow frob's advice until you are good enough to start making games with Unity. If you decide on the latter you could choose Gamemaker as it has the least steep learning curve
