Comment on Is there an easy way to learn how to create your own video game? by csanon

If you really want to learn to create games, you need to learn to program. There are no shortcuts or three step programs for something like that. You don’t need to start when you are at college. 8 years old or 30 years old, you can learn.

There is however a set of requirements that many sadly fail to fulfil: you need to be the type that enjoys problem solving, and is diligent enough to search out his own answers. With Google, you really can find a lot of information on the internet that will help you with programming.

Is your grandson interested in programming his own games? He won’t jump into making flashy 3D games anytime soon. He will however spend time learning computer science concepts and a programming language, before being able to touch even simple games. Many aspiring wanna-be game programmers go this route. Is you grandson one of them?

If so, tell him to go to Google and start read materials on how to program and how to start game programming. This is something that takes initiative from *him*.

But if your grandson simply enjoys playing video games, and fancies making one on his own, without the investment of time in learning how to program, then disregard my entire post. You’ll have to look for some program like Game Creator. Perhaps something like RPG Maker?

I don’t know what you mean by “video game”. You can make simple PC games by going to http://www.yoyogames.com/gamemaker/try
and downloading Game Maker 7.
It’s relatively complex, but all you need to do once you learn is drag-and-drop, AND it has tutorials.

He could start here – http://www.gamedev.net/

But really, he should learn basic programming first, C, C++, C#, and other languages.

Because they unknowing add to the economy through a fun way. Lets put it in perspective here. The video game industry makes BILLIONS of dollars a year. Last year they made 10.6 Billion dollars and that number is projected to go up by 7 Billion this year and it will keep growing. Video Games are like any other source of media out there just with more interactivity then anything. All I can say is open your mind and see through your minds eye and not your blurred sight

Because you don’t get any exercise playing video games. All you do is watch a tv and use your hands. Maybe there hands will get super buff, haha but there body will still be fat.

Comment on I read a review about online about a Poker Room in Everett on Tues and Thur. Is that still open? by Beatle fanatic

Beatle fanatic — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 12:58:09 +0000

The one in Everett was held at the Silver Fox restaurant on 530 2nd street but I don’t know if it is still open.

There is one in Seabrook NH at the greyhound race track that I know is open every day of the week:
