If you’ve ever wondered how exactly a computer program is built, then this is the series for you. This series of posts will go through the process of idea to working program, start to finish, in as layman’s terms as possible.

It won’t turn you into a developer and might make your head hurt a bit but will hopefully be interesting and informative. And by the end of it there will be a playable, simple game to take away the headache.

I should point out that this is a ‘live’ series, I don’t know the ins and outs yet nor the final outcome. That’s my reason for the series, by publicly saying “I will…” I hope to actually complete it. I’m also using it as a test-bed for some ideas on how to be an indie game developer.

If your a tech going “pah!” … well, there is always something you can learn and I’ll make sure each instalment has a nice tech-takeaway point based on my of experience.
