Good easy engines?

by Brian · in General Discussion · 03/28/2002 (1:51 pm) · 5 replies

Hi,

I was just wondering if there were any type of 3D game engines that would be good for a newbie like me to learn. I'm not an experienced programmer so sadly I cannot use Torque. Are there any engines with a basic or C type syntax that would be easy for me to learn?

Thanks

    I'd recommend GameStudio.
    http://conitec.net/a4info.htm
    It's pretty much scripting only, with many step by step tutorials available, for numerous different types of games. I purchased a copy myself, and I think very highly of it. It doesn't however do quite as much as I require of an engine, so I'm sticking with Torque now.

    Download RealmWars, and make a mod with it. It uses the Torque engine and the scripting language is like a cross between Basic and C++.

    And it will cost you nothing.

    I'm not too familiar with mod scripting. Are there any tutorials? And without the Torque editors it would be impossible to make levels and characters right? I'm terribly sorry. I just don't understand the basics I guess.

    You gotta learn not to worry about names. Get it, explore it. Then say "I can't do that". If you say it before you try it, you'll only limit yourself.

    Scripting in Torque is similar to Javascript and javascript is similar to easy c++ and visual basic.

    no, youre not going to find too many basic scripting resources here. the stuff on gg is for programmers. try a tribes 2 script site for scripting basics. you CAN create levels without torque. all you need is the RW demo, and worldcraft for maps and/or a 3d modeling app like milkshape. to modify the source code you need torque.
