Simple Javascript game maker needed!

iamdjk · #1 (**permalink**) 09-29-09, 06:59 PM

I need someone to make a simple Javascript game that will work in an Opera 9.5 browser. The screen resolution (strictly) needs to be 240 x 176 or less. It may seem small, but that is the size I need. You can just post the full code here in this thread. I can't afford to buy it, so I need it free. Thank you so much! (P.S. I don't want Tic Tac Toe, Reflex Tester, or Russian Roulette.) (P.P.S. Maybe a Battleship game would be good.)

If you don't want tp post the code here, you can email me at dj1dj2dj3@ymail.com . Make sure it is the CODE and NOT a zip file.

Simple and Game Maker do not really go in the same sentence. Games require a lot of logic to be present and many rules for the game to follow.

Building a game like battleship in JavaScript would be very time consuming not to mention javascript is not really the best platform for game building. (Though it can be done.)

To ask a programmer capable of doing this to just do this and hand it off to you for free is like having an electrician come rewire your house for free. It displays your lack of knowledge in what you are truly asking for.

^ Yep.

No one is going to do it for free.

Well then I guess I will just have to learn the language myself.

First - check hotscripts.com and Google. You'll probably find some good code.

I would start small if you are going to do it yourself then build yourself up. If you are dead set on using JavaScript to build a game I would look into using some of the useful JavaScript libraries out there that make things easier.

Things like JQuery, YUI, ExtJS

Doing a quick search I found this library
gameQuery - a javascript game engine with jQuery

I would get into the basic of JavaScript before you dive into these projects though.

There are a lot of knowledgeable people on these forums that can provide some good help if you do get stuck or just have a general coding question.

Goodluck!
