How can I make a game engine?

[oliversb]

So I want to make a game engine like Multimedia Fusion 2, Game Maker, The Games Factory and I want to make it just as easy as Multimedia Fusion but I don't know where to start. I could do with some assistance or help on how I can start. I would probably buy Multimedia Fusion 2 Developer Edition, the upcoming Andriod exporter and maybe the SWF exporter. Thanks and if this isn't possible in MFF or TGF then please send me to another application developer program which has this possible or maybe an easy programming language. I'd love someone's help and thanks. Oh yes and I don't mind help for upgraded products only because I will probably buy the MMF2 Developer. So please assist with a game engine with maybe a menubar.

Thanks for the third time, I'd love some help!

I suppose the logical place to start would be with some kind of level editor tutorial, and then work up from there. You'll never be able to make MMF2 in MMF2, though (but perhaps something like KNP).

Why are you posting in the Newgrounds forum?

[oliversb]

Please can you link me to one of these tutorials. I think I could work out, how I could make a level editor. How many times harder is Java and C++, in your opnion to using Multimedia Fusion for recreating KnP.

I can't afford multimedia fusion so I've got The Games Factory NG.

Either this guy is trolling, or needs to be given a reality check...

Lest go by the assumption that you are seriously trying to create a game-making program within a game-making program.

While this is possible, it would be very limited and probably slow. Also, you can't really use the Newgrounds edition of TGF to create it, since you'd only be able to build flash game targeted for Newgrounds (sure, you might be able to make a game creation tool with flash, but nothing major.)

Here's the first level editor example I found with the forum search (it's a handy tool, you should try it):

Try learning how it works first and then think if you're really about to create something as big as a game creation tool.

Thanks.
