All of us have played games at some point in our lives. Whether it be zipping through a castle infested by ancient spirits in Skyrim or arranging gems in Crush Candy Saga, games, through our PCs, smartphones and gaming consoles, has been providing an unmatched level of entertainment, information, and stress free time for people belonging to all age groups for decades.
But for the more curious and inquisitive ones among us, a burning question that arises every time we watch a marvelously executed interactive NPC pop up and run the show in a game, is How the hell was this made?
Programming, obviously.
But before you can delve into millions of lines of C++ and Java code that forms the heart of such amazing games, you have a steep learning curve to negotiate.
And there is perhaps no better way to start your journey in game programming than going for Flash Games or HTML5 games. These simple and easy-to-code games even have a huge market, with multiple websites jockeying for getting an exclusive release of well made games.
Sure, there is a myriad of tutorials of programming available on the web. Some are easier, some are advanced, and all may seem viable. So where to start?
I shall try to present several good programming tutorial websites over the course of the next few weeks. But first, here's a damn good one:
