I need your advice

[Uchiha_madara]

I need to Make an Educational and Games Applications

............................

I need to Build these Applications with vb.net or c#

-- i need to ask :


-- I don't Know yet what is the best way to create such these Applications with pure code or build them with flash ......



i need the best solution .................


i hope that is My Problem is Clear .....

My advice is to choose a language other than .NET or C# (unless you have a really good reason). As for if you should use code or Flash, it would depend on what sort of game you are trying to build. You need to provide more details before more advice can be given.

Are you wanting to develop this software as a desktop application or a web application?

[jimi_hendrix]

and can we get an idea of the game?

The software is desktop Application

[Uchiha_madara]

and can we get an idea of the game?


To be honest with you ....
I have three Ideas

1 - It is an Educational Application for the Children have ages between 3 and 6 years old to increasew there Creativity .....
this Idea Looks Like The Educational Applications in EdUbuntu...
The Children Well Like it...

2 - The Second one ... Competition....Depend on Multiple Choice Question..
have a Data base from Questions in Different parts(Art, Science , History, and so on.....) and choose the Questions randomly..

3 - Puzzle Game..... This Game I still Collect The Ideas.


these are My ideas ......
I hope that I was clear enough....

As to wheather or not you should use code or flash, I would say it would be hightly hependant on the look and feel you are going for. Also, it would depeind on which one you know better.

The Question is : How can I download The Flash Software ......?

The Question is : How can I download The Flash Software ......?

"The Flash Software" is for Windows and needs to be bought (~600-700$, probably cheaper for students). The flash *player* is downloadable free-of-charge. For information about alternatives, see this thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=899410&highlight=Flash) (but be warned that the alternatives might seem to be not mature enough for you).

[realitybites]

if you are gonna use flash, you can download flex sdk for free and use it to compile actionscript 3 code. visit adobe.com/downloads/ there is a link for sdk. but there won't be a ide.

My advice would be to become much more competent programmer in any language before you start this project. Any language where you can get most help - ask your friends. If you are all by yourself, start with Python.

See FAQ in my sig about:
- how to ask question
- how to learn programming (and data structures)
- how to start project

I wouldn't advise Flash for a desktop application(or even a web one really).

1)Tools are expensive
2)Flash and Linux don't always play nice
3)Flash is primarily for web based applications

I also don't recommend C# or VB .Net either unless you really need them.

They aren't 100% supported on Linux, and are primarily for programming Windows.

You would be much better off with something like Python. Simple to learn, supported on all platforms and all the tools are free.

ok ... I need to ask if there is IDE and GUI programming tools in python or not????

and what about java... ???

[themusicwave]

You really don't need an IDE for python. I usually just use Geany.

Java is a whole different animal, and for that you probably do need an IDE for anything significant.

I would recommend as a beginner you start with Python. I say this as a person who writes Java almost ever day. Python is much easier to learn and much less confusing than Java.

Check out the links in pmaiser's signature specifically this one:
http://learnpython.pbwiki.com/HowToStart

For GUI you will be looking at TKinter, PyGTK or wxWidgets. There are probably a dozen others, but those are the main ones. The only one I have tried thus far is TKinter and it is fairly straight forward. I obviously can't speak for the others.

understood ...i thought that Geany for C and C++ thanks a lot i 'll try to Learn Python......but one Last Question :
Python is very old Language isn't it?

thanks a lot ??

Why don't you just look it up? Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_(programming_language)

[NovaAesa]

It's from 1991, but 17 years old isn't really that old. There are many languages that are older.

EDIT: Zugzwang beat me to it.

[Uchiha_madara]

thanks for you all ....because you are helped me a lot ...

thanks again....
