Where can one find game programming software?

Answer 1

For the programming part its usually Visual Studio c++ or C# depending on what programming language you want to use.

For the art side of games, software such as Maya, 3ds Max, XSI are used for the 3d models and animation.

Photoshop is usually used for the textures.

And some sort of level editor such as Hammer, Radiant, Sandbox, UnrealEd, ect.

Answer 2

Basically, all languages can and are used for game programming. The most common include

• Java (e.g. for development aimed at the Android operating system)
• C++ (Omnipresent(All Platforms))
• .NET (primarily for development aimed at Windows operating systems)
• Adobe Flex (ActionScript and MXML) (for use with Flash Player or Adobe Air)

There are also a number of game engines, some of them free. Unity3D is an example for a powerful game engine. It can build games for Android, Flash, Windows and a number of other targets.

Answer 3

One can find game programming software at Unity3D. Visit Unity3D online and look for their latest software, which would be called Unity 4 Pro. Buy or try a free trial of the product to see the performance and if its worth the price.

Answer 4

Generally program language environments are used to create computer programs. Such environments include compilers and other programming tools. If you don't have such an environment, then you would need individual programs such as an editor to type the program, a compiler to convert things to intermediate computer code, and then a linker to convert that machine code into an executable file that works with the operating system. You might then need a resource editor to manage or include Windows-compatible resources inside with the file.

Answer 5

Language is not a big concern while watching movies online, thanks to the subtitles. But when it comes to developing games it's the key skillset.

 

Usually C++ is used in developing the Triple-A games.

If you are not doing Triple- A games - and are considering mobile development you might want to look at the following.C++ (for Android and iOS)

Java (for Android)

C# (for Unity apps on many platforms)

Objective-C or Swift (for iOS)Also, learning relevant APIs which can speed-up game development will go a long way.

Here are a few:

OpenGL ES (graphics API for all platforms)

Unity (a game engine solution for 3D and 2D Games)

Cocoa (for all iOS apps)

Cocos2D (a 2D API)You can find the best example at Chillar Games

Answer 6

Many game makers write games in C/C++. Windows XP was created with C++. Something easier would be a program called "game maker" at yoyogames.com
