- xentronium 16y agoGreat writeup. Looks like you've got some predisposition to programming since you've already learned a whole lot in a short timespan. Hopefully, we'll see some original indie hits from you in another six months or so.
- eru 16y agoHave you tried reading other people's code? There's Knuth Literate Programming version of the classic Adventure [0] which you can read almost like a novel, and the source code for Spelunky [1] has also been released [2]. (I don't know whether Spelunky has good code, but it's a good game.) Good luck!

- chipsy 16y agoSpelunky is made in Game Maker, which lets you script on top of a pre-existing engine and IDE. It's hard to apply to "bare-metal" coding. I would point to open source games such as Nethack, Stepmania or Battle for Wesnoth for some ideas.
- eru 16y agoNethack is probably a mess. Battle for Wesnoth sounds like a good idea.
