Total noob asking about where/how to get simple game

ScottLoiselle · 2019-12-10T11:10:06

Hi folks, I'm teaching audio engineering and sound design at a small college. I'm trying to find a source of some super simple games (even, like, old 1980s style, anything at all simple) with the whole point being able to have my students design sounds and implement them into the game. Does anyone know of any source for basic, free, non-commercial games that I could get and learn how to integrate sounds into? Please remember that I'm a total noob at game design! Any help much appreciated!

May be you should look at JS[+WebGL], there a lot of online examples/courses

BTW: i prefer c++/OpenGL, but, for me, JS/WebGL perfect for simple cross platform (Web) games with wide community

I like to use TypeScript instead of JavaScript. I use TS with: pure WebGL, Phaser (2D), Babylon.js (3D). I study network programming using Node.js and socket.io. Free hosting Heroku has these database: MySQL, MongoDB and Postgres. You can make auto deplay from GitHub when you make "git push"

I prefer C#/OpenTK/OpenGL3 because you can use C# with Unity. Unity is very popular game engine. There are a lot of jobs. C# is friendly and simpler than C++. I study how to write a simple game server using TCP sockets in C#. You can use OpenTK with WinForms and WPF. OpenTK has ability to create GameWindow.
