Hello everyone,

Can someone please tell me step-by-step on how to create a game editor?

Thanks in advance

That's a pretty vague and generic question. What's a game editor? Is it a program that lets you create games? If this is the case, I would learn compiler design and some GUI programming, but it's not something I can give you step-by-step instructions to, any more than I can give you step-by-step instructions on how to score with a Japanese porn star.

Step 1) Create a file format for storing game settings for the game.
Step 2) Create a program that will read/write that file format.

The details, of course, will vary with the game and its engine.

Ha Ha Ha, How to... do that!

As I don't have any programming experience at all!

Well, if you don't mind, could you please guide me from the first step?

Honestly, I ONLY want to edit one parameter.

This one is the game that I really like it forever! :c-thumbup:

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease

How about telling us what the game is. Without that information, we can't really help.

I hope it's Quake 3!

To make a game you will need to do many hours of programming. You will need to understand many important concepts, ones that are needed in all programming generally, such as memory management, and ones that are specifically to games, such as event-based programming. You should first learn to program in some simple language such as Python, Ruby, Perl or BASIC, and then move on to more difficult languages like C or C++, where you can make more complex games. You will then need to choose a graphics library, sound library, etc.
