Okay... What video game makers/creators work on my particular computer?What do you mean by "best" and what are you trying to make and how much time and money are you going to put into this?
There are many large companies that license their source engines for people to create games with, and lucky for you they are definately not free, a couple of $100,000 for a license. Anything that runs for a Power PC mac would not be "best" of anything anymore.
Can I make video games with Xcode?XCode.
I know. I am really interested in learning how to program.ou can write pretty much any language code in that so I would say yes, if you know how to program. I hope you realize that creating a game is not like clicking a few Lego blocks together.
Not quite what I was looking for, but thanks for the suggestion.There are quite a few games that have super mod tools they give out free, that will pretty much enable you to create using their engine, the trick is to find one that will work on your laptop.
Hopefully, I will be getting (by getting I mean making) a PC pretty soon. If your interested, here are the components that I will be using for my new computer:MACs are not known for their gaming ability, you're better off getting a PC and using that.
Do you think that it would be a better idea for me to wait until late November/early December (this is when I will be purchasing the PC (shown above)) to start learning a programming language?I would have to say that if I were learning to program games then a Mac is the last platform that I would choose.
However; the best language for this purpose is C (and on a Mac you're going to have to know about a rather obscure variant called Objective-C). I have found a book that may help you, but be aware that you are embarking on a difficult road. There are many, many more resources available on PCs for this purpose.
As for XCode, it's not only the best tool it's about the only game in town as far as Mac programming is concerned. And the good news is - it's completely free.
