Anyone Want to be a Game Designer/Engineer?
I'm really considering going through with this career path, but I'm still new to coding. I'm 16 now, so I've got plenty of time to practice. I recently learned HTML and a bit of CSS but I know I'm barely scratching the surface.
If anyone can answer these questions I will be very thankful.
[b]What skills should I have under my belt that would better qualify me as an engineer/designer?
What things could I do prior to college that would give me a leg up on the competition?
Technical School vs. College?
Finally, what is the best coding language for video games?[/b]

3 RepliesMost triple-A games are written in C++. The PlayStation Suite uses C#. Minecraft was written in Java. Roller Coaster Tycoon was written in Assembly. (More fun fact than practical comparison) If you need to prioritize, pick a programming language to focus on over HTML and CSS (Unless you're determined you want to try and make HTML5 games). Popular starting choices for programming include Java, Python, and C++. One of the best things you can do right now is to pick a language and learn it like the back of your hand. Then learn another, and another.
