Please do not post the same thing multiple times. The board software automatically flags certain posts as needing moderator attention. This happens the most often for new users. I'm pretty sure this is made clear at the time you attempt to post. Posting the same thing over and over again just makes that many more posts the moderators have to weed through later. This makes us sad. Don't make us sad. If your post/thread doesn't appear, just wait a while. Don't post it again. If it hasn't shown up by the next day, then you can try again. I normally go through posts in the mornings, and try to check a few times throughout the day, but I'm not here 24/7. There will typically be a significant delay before posts are approved. Just be patient.
i was wondering would anyone know a good program/language to study to make a game like any STORM 8 game or the ZYNGA MAFIA games?...my main goal is a game like Kindoms at war or Gangs at war....if you dont know of any of the games i just listed, i want to make a game thats text based on the iphone that have chat enabled, posting on walls, attacking other players, doing quests, ect......i know its going to be very hard and time consuming but i just want to know which program i should study to eventually make this app...
im currently studying Objective-c and gonna use Xcode...but if there are any other way of making this easier for me or faster or even maybe the "right" way of making a app like that, please let me know....
I already have the idea and i know its gonna be a top hit for sure...
I too am looking to start studied in the world of Object-c and cocoa and xcode I too am looking to create a text based game similar to Dope wars or pimp wars.
what other code languages or methods are there to up smooth the process of creating the code?
I'm coding a text based game similar to @DieScumBag. Frankly, I found all the stuff like chat, posting on walls, attacking players to be a LOT of work -- you need a server, website, database, something to handle all the players ... ensure people don't cheat, and whether you use energy to limit a player's growth (XP) and usage per game.
It will cost you money and this isn't even counting the amount of hours you will have pulling your hair out because cocos2d takes forever to code simple stuff.
Frankly, its too much hassle and I wouldn't even try to begin to code all of this unless you have a good team and a firm understanding of web server technologies, databases and have the funds to do it.
I'm talking from experience because I've spent months trying to build my game and because of cocos2d and other issues its taken me months and a lot of lost time.
If necessary, try to prototype your game in paper, or in UIKit, table views, things like that
