Re: [pygame] 2D Game - Thankyou for all help

Break it up into a bunch of simpler pieces. You might start with:

1. make a single guy on screen,
   
2. use arrow keys to move him
3. add enemies
4. click to select a guy, now clicking will move a guy
5. make guys auto-shoot at other guys
   
6. add a tileset ( this folder has a demo) http://code.google.com/p/ninmonkey/source/browse/#hg%2Fexamples%2Fmaptiles_numpy
7. save and load tilesets
   
8. add a second layer, that contains buildings / objects
   

Making simpler quick projects / prototypes are good to learn too.

1. make a text RPG or adventure game
2. save / loader of game state ( Use CSV, XML or Pickle)
   
3. make classic arcade games
   
1. Pong
2. Asteroids
3. Tron
4. mario
   
5. pacman

etc...

HI

Thanks for all the advice - but decided i will stick with Pygame and
actually learn how to code instead of trying to use a programme that does it
for you - tried that with web page designing and it was kinda difficult and
never came out right lol

have this idea for a 2d RPG stratergy game, but its huge and will have to do
something simpler - my problem is i enjoy detail and technical stuff eg not
combining two resources and creating a tank and im looking to create a
modern day role playing game to survive in a modern world

in the path of Fall Out 1 & 2 and a few others

So thinking of a similar project to practice and simplifying my idea

so as i have asked before - i have read the manuals of - "making games with
python and pygame" as well as other tutorials but where can i find info
specific to beginning and how to write a 2D RPG stratergy game importing
share maps graphics objects etc

where my character can create objects to create things, building, locating
and fortifying a home base, planting, scavaging, reseaching, learning,
training, eating, sleeping and drinking water to survive in a real time
enviroment which of course can be speeded up. being able to carry only a
certain amount of supplies, and also being able to give your survivors under
you orders to complete tasks

and even here i still think my project is to big

at the moment im busy with pygame tutorials and help files
