I have been thinking for a while that I would like to create a game. I used to play a game called autoduel on the Amiga, you drove a car around with armour and guns destroying other cars and sellings goods between towns.
I would like to make something like this, no fancy graphics, no 3D environment just a simple overhead view type of game with basic graphics and a small number of colours.
What is the best language to use to program this type of thing? Is there decent game creation software out there that will help?
I realise that this is a large project. I used to write simple games for the commodore 64 in basic so I have a rough idea of what is involved.
