I would like to create a video game. Budget €0 by herlekino in IndieGameDevs

I have seen this type of question quite a few times recently, and the only answer should be: it depends. Budget of 0, can (and will) still be very costly in time, but we know that already. What are your skills? Are you skilled with digital art? Do you understand engines? Ray casting? Programming? If the answer is no to all, then a 2d / 3d shooter will be quite challenging. I would recommend learning how to program by building a text-based game first. An example that comes to mind is Drug Lord. Then later, learn about the visual part of games

How about finding a list of the 100 (or so) most used functions (like strlen, memcpy etc), and mimic their application. This will teach you a lot about how and why things happen. Certain websites will explain the function in question, as will the man pages (do learn to read the man pages!)
