Developing game engine!

good day to all of you!!

I am interested in a project that says:

Game Engine Development ( 2D ) for my final year B.E project.

The thing is i have no experience or any knowledge about game engine development.

My professor says we can use VC++ but any other language would do.

I have been studying java and am more comfortable in it.

could yo tell me whether i shud pursue this project and if so then are there any good books, sites that i can read from?

Thankyou,

Have a great day!

Hi,

I believe what you're doing is within your grasp for a full year project.

It's probably on the upper end of the difficulty scale though, as far as school projects are concerned.

Your question is a little ambiguous though:

a 2D game engine for a tetris game, and a 2D game engine for Zelda are two very different beasts.

Personally, I haven't required any books for programming a 2D game. Just a solid knowledge of Java, and some careful thought should be enough.

Good luck

if you have a full year then you should be fine. Just divide it into MANY TINY classes so you can do one at a time.
