Creating a Flash/facebook game or a iPhone App/Game?

[Bobby]

You need to be able to do logic, algebra, and geometry. You need to learn the languages (flash for flash games and C++ for iPhone I think...). Then you need graphics. You could used Paint.NET for that. Google it. If you're no good at graphics, ask someone else over the internet. Then you need sound. I haven't used any audio editing software myself so I can't help you there.... Anyways, you could get started by programming for the DS. There's relatively simple program called DS Game Maker that you could use. http://www.dsgamemaker.com As for learning programming languages, it would be a good idea to take a class on it. It takes a very, very long time to make a game that's any good. It takes huge teams of over 50 skilled programmers more than a year to make the games you find in stores. Don't be expecting to make anything too fancy on your first go. As for contacting Facebook or Apple, this may also be difficult. Rather than contacting Facebook, you'll want to contact someone who already has a Facebook app for flash games. And for Apple, you may need to pay for a license. Or just sign up for the app store as a developer. As I said before, DS Game Maker can be a good start, you don't need to know the language but it helps you get used to the logic and everything else that is needed to make a quality application. There's also a forum on DSGM that you can use to get help from other users. My username on the DSGM forums is Bobbyloujo, just in case you are interested. Good Luck!!
