Android 3D games (top 10)
Looking to one day get into the gaming industry?
So I want to enter the gaming industry eventually. I'm currently 17 and have taken a great interest not only in the playing of games but drawing, story telling, and programing. I have been using Python for a while and am becoming quite proficient. I would like to start writing apps for my Android but I don't know where to start. So I have two questions:
What are the languages that you need to know to be able to make games for Android and Windows?
What do you actually have to /do/ to make a 3D game?
Thanks in advance.
I would suggest learning the most important languages... C++, Java, VB, etc. If you have those down then learning other programming languages become a lot easier.
Get a degree in Computer Science or Software Engineering, but make sure you get an internship with a company in or related to the field (Electronic Arts was a blast when i was there). Or you can take the graphic artist route (much tougher) or animator, but going through that route is as ridiculous as it is hard.
Android games are typically in C++, C and Java, while Apple runs on Objective C and Xcode. Mainly, knowing Java and C++ will basically get you on the way for any kind of Application design. With large scale Windows games, it depends on the company. Each developer has different tools and engines that they use and play around with, though the majority of these have their roots in the core languages.
I would say, learn C++, Java, and C#. Those will give a good base for creating good software.
