Creating from scratch

Post by centuryx476 »

Hello I just discovered this game engine and I have to say I am very impressed. I am a programmer and the reason I got into programming was to create a RTS game and now I find this awesome game engine made for RTs games. I'm new to this forum and I have a question. I want to create a game from scratch. That means I want to code, script it all. Of course I will start small but how does one do this? I have gone through the website and found explanations but I would like to ask. I've learned that Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 does not work with this. Which is fine but is there an IDE that works?

Also is this kind of question is in the wrong area of the forum please MOVE it.

Thank you

with spring, the engine and games are quite separate things. for developing a game, you do not need an IDE like VisualStudio, because you do not need to code C++. if you want to work on the engine though (we always need people there), thats an other story.
You should also look around and try out the games that already exist, to see what already exists, and if there maybe already is a game similar to what you want to do.
