Hello! This is the first time I'm creating a topic on any forum, so I appologize if there's any "social rule" I'm violating.
That being said, I really desire to become a game developer! However, I'm a complete beginner when it comes to programming. I'm looking for advice as to what I should look into to begin creating a basic game from scratch. Right now, I'm reading "Head First: Java", I'm hoping that I can use
Java to attempt to make a clone of Tetris for practice. Is there any other program/software I should utilize to accomplish this task? Thank you in advance!
