Xbox programming
c#, xbox360, xna
Solution
Glad to see that you are enjoying programming. I think there will be a lot of different answers to this question ("Should I do C or not?") But I think its a good thing that you start by writing code in C. You will learn a lot of basic stuff that you might have passed if only going for the XNA framework right away.
BUT! Don't wait to long. The XNA framework is quite powerful and it makes it very easy to get started. I think you should ask yourself (including your friends) "what you think is the most fun part of developing a game?"
Is it the game design? graphical programming? just programming? making graphics? Perhaps that answer will give you a hint about what to focus on.
Cause private projects should be about having fun.
Problem
I am learning the language c. After c I will probably move onto objective c and develop some iPhone applications. Then I was thinking about learning c# and xna. How long do you guys think it will take before I can develop a pretty decent hitting or roleplay game for the xbox? My friend is also learning game design s I will have a game designer and my other friend is going to learn code like me. How long do you guys think it will take before we can develop a game like I said . Any tips on books or? What kind of game engine we hould use? Anything at all so we can stratup and learn that you know of.
