making turn based game

[folmer_veeman]

i have to make a turn based chernobyl game for school, does anyone know which program i could use for it?

[Erichermit]

Ah, why not use the game making program I made to make Enex2?

good luck on your project.

Use GURPS and explore the power of spreadsheets.

Erich, I know that program, but can you use it to make a turn based game?

 

 

 

And zonor, it has to be easy to use without having to spend too much time (have till somewhere in december to make it), would gurps do the trick?

[Erichermit]

When you say turn based, do you mean like.. Fire Emblem or Final Fantasy Tactics?

 

 

 

When you said turn based I may have assumed a different meaning.

Only if you can read through and process the sourcebook fast enough.

 

 

 

It's an RPG system, not an RPG maker.

 

 

 

Alternatively, you could port some of the rules for tabletop Warhammer 40k (or any miniatures game, really) into a turn-based computer game. That way, you won't have to worry about coming up with your own mechanics.

I mean, like a board game. (*gasp*) I know I could do it with rpg maker, but that's tedious as hell to make (as you would have to program every tile to go to the next person. :-#

Board game..

 

But for the computer?

 

 

 

Personally if I were a teacher I'd be more impressed with a well made board game actually made.

[Theoknight2]

if you're making a board game, why do you want a program for it? Grab some cardboard and markers tbh.

[Zonorhc]

A... board game?

 

 

 

Christ, you could code than in Basic.

[folmer_veeman]

Well i suck at making physical drawings etc, so making one on a computer would be the most logical thing to do. And Zonor, what's basic?

[Zonorhc]

MS Visual Basic, one of the simplest programming languages out there.

 

 

 

Or hang on, were you actually asking for an image editing program to DRAW the game? Because you should have clarified that at the start.

If you have absolutely no knowledge of programing at all why the hell are you trying to program a board game which is, well, supposed to be a board game.

No i'm not, just a program to make a game in, where i can supply the sprites myself.
