1. RE: Game Programming
Hi,
Some more information straight up would be useful.
Things like:
Is it a commercial/freeware/shareware game?
What Platforms should it run on (DOS Windows95/98/NT/2000/XP Linux)?
Is graphics design/music composition/sound effects required?
Who are you?
Do you have experience in game design?
Why are you wanting someone else to write a game for you?
What type of game is it? (matching words/numbers/letters/shapes/sounds)
I'm sure I could think of another dozen questions if I put 10 minutes
aside.
Making a game is a huge amount of work (even a very simple game).
To get people interested I think you need to come across with alot
more information.
One place where you might get good results is by asking at the
Allegro games library site:
http://www.allegro.cc
This site has a messge board and is completely related to making games.
Euphoria is good for making games as well ... just that there aren't
many people here (that I know of) making games.
I don't want to put you off your idea, making games is fun!

Hi Ray,
I tried to install your program, no short cut was created. Please advise.
Thanks for the tip on allegro.

If your talking about my "Euphoria Games Pack" from the "Recent User
Contributions" they aren't really full games ... just demo games I
created to test my Euphoria Allegro wrappers.
If you want to run the games it's best to start a DOS session,
"cd" to the directory where you unzipped the file and execute the
programs by "exw dodgem" or "exw invaders".
As I said they are not full games so I haven't created an installation
program which creates shortcuts or un-install scripts etc.
