After some hard times I am not so sure If I wanna do Diablo or Slordax. If you remember Slordax is like Phoenix,except enemies crash into you...

Where's the "Make whatever you want to make" option? You should be programming for yourself, not to show off to or please others.

I meant like which one would people like to see more, since eally dont care, since the games arent going to be that great...since I am just learning.

Tic tac toe may be a bit too basic. I think you should make slordax before diablo because it's a lot less complicated. The Ti world can always use more scrolling shooters. :D

...someone needs to make gradius...

I just placed Tic-Tac-Toe IRONICLY =D. I kind of threw the easiest thing i have though of.

How is it ironic?

I didn't mean no cheap crappy version, I meant an awsome version, with guns, magic cherrys and 3d vector graphics.

guns?

cherrys?

3d vector graphics?

I'll stick with 2d grayscale for now =D

Haha, grayscale. Try a game you can complete, these are big first projects.

Actually, scrolling shooters are fairly easy to make. I made a few PC ones myself. The hardest part was creating a background and tiles that looked good. Just set timers for everytything to appear. And the AI is insanely easy. Just make things that move back and forth or in a circle and shoot at you randomly(not in random direction, just random timing). As the game progresses, make the enemies move more erraticly and shoot more often. Bosses can be hard to make though. http://www.noodan.com/page.php?id=459 <== here is a great free scrolling shooter to give you some ideas.

Rubbish. I never play any of the stuff I wrote myself, and I certainly didn't enjoy working on a lot of it.

c'mon as you're still learning, both diablo and a shoot'em up game will be very hard to do
try programming a tic-tac-toe, that will be already great
