Top down turn based game

is it possible for non programer (artist, actually) to make such game in this game engine ?

Yes.

yeah, construct 2 can do it easily .

But you better get used to write program logic like flowcharts. Might wanna check out the code for GLSL HLSL shaders.

You still have to reprogram your mind from artist mindset - outlook, colors, shading - to a programmer mindset: mathematics, logic, code flow, variables, arrays.

You bet you can. Im creating one, topdown turnbased too, like you mentioned. Though it takes a few moments to learn on this aspect, Im sure it will be a success!

I agree, but take it slow. How about learning about game flow first. Get the basic logic of a game first. It's about step by step. Once you get the flow, you understand the game better (or your game better).

Something like this for a start.

Two words: state machine. It'll make your project a whole lot more manageable and it is easy to visualize.

thikn im going to give it a shot,

any starting points, assuming i oly programmed in BASIC 20 years ago ? :)

The beginner's guide for C2 is great for the basics of C2.

You can go further and check the creating a match card memory game tutorial (still a WIP but valuable) to get more the hang of things.

After those two tutorials, you should be more used to coding in C2 and can go back on the Finite State Machine tutorial mipey linked earlier and apply it in C2.

Thank you, the link is a good tutorial, and I like this example.
