Making games for the dandy console requires the developer to have assembly language skills and experience developing other games. Skills of working in graphic editors are also required.
It is necessary
- - a set of programs for editing images;
- - assembler program;
- - emulator.
Instructions
Step 1
Learn assembler. It will take you a decent amount of time if you have not been involved in programming before and are going to create a game without outside help. The best thing to do is to register on the programmers forum right away to get the information you are interested in that you may not find in the textbooks.
Step 2
Also do practice exercises periodically. If you do not have skills in writing games, do it, and it does not matter at all in what language they will be written, since the main thing is to understand the general principle of their work.
Step 3
Think over the main idea of the game and write everything in the form of a program code, and then link the parts together into one game. Write down the code for details, add music to the game that you can download from the Internet or write yourself. If suddenly you cannot implement a bunch of two ideas in one game, abandon one of them or create two simple ones at once. The first time, few people manage to write a good complex game.
Step 4
Implement the graphical part of the game, here you will need the skills of working with the appropriate editors. If you can't handle both parts of the game development, bring in third-party designers or programmers. Try to use professional graphic editors, because in them you will burn the most detailed thought over every moment of the interface of the dandy game you are creating.
Step 5
Please note that you can also simply modify one of the currently existing games for the dandy console by downloading its source from the Internet and adding the code in accordance with what changes you would like to see in it. It's much easier than doing it yourself and will also suit you as a practice before writing a standalone game.
Step 6
Run the game on the emulator. If no bugs are found, the game is finished. Do not launch uncorrected versions of the game and do not post them on the Internet, it is best to get the job done right away.
