(I'm not sure if I am posting this in the right place, so if it is in the wrong forum a moderator can move it if they wish. Thanks.)
Ok, here's a little background:
I am programming Java in school and for my final project I was hoping to make a game in a style similar to Golden Sun. Right now I am probably around an intermediate level in Java programming but I still have quite a lot of time time before I actually have to start this project, so I can learn more in this time. The reason I am posting this right now is because I'd like to be fairly prepared for the task ahead.
Well, my main question is how hard would it be to program a game engine like the one in Golden Sun? I asked my friend who is quite advanced in Java programming and he said it would be fairly difficult because of collisions and the like, but it's always good to have a second opinion.
Thank you in advance, I am extremely grateful for whatever advice and information you can give me.
