I would really like to make my first game but, sadly I haven't a clue as to how to start with coding. I know a little bit about HTML5 Website coding but idk if that will apply to game coding at all. Also, seeing that it's my first game I'd also like to try not to spend any money on this project yet. About my Game: I figured that I should give some details as to what my idea for my first game is so that you guys can kinda base all advice off of that. • It's going to be a music game with a piano. • In the beginning you'll be given a chart that shows you how to read music and what notes correspond to what key on the keyboard. • There will be 10-20 levels, each level holding a different song. All songs will be moderatly easy since the player will most likely have no experience reading music. • Bars with piano music will scroll by above the piano (at a preset speed depending on the song) and as the notes go over a green (see through) bar you would have to click that key on the piano. • Perhaps there will be a badge system. •When you hit a right note a light blue music note will float up a little ways above the key you clicked and gadually disapear. Art isn't really a problem since I know how to whip up some decent pixel art. I just need to know where to start coding (once again for free if possible). Anyways, I guess my overall question is, Where should I start with coding if I know nothing about game coding and the the stuff above is what I want my game to be like. Thanks in advance PS: Here are some of the pics that may be in the game.
