No, java is more complicated for sure. All the unconstructive questions from "idk show me" people are a quantity, but here you´ll generally not get very far with questions. Try smilebasicsource and you´ll learn it in a blink.
This is definitely much easier to make games for than using native code compiled from a language like C. It provides the framework for you as well as an easy way to interface with it.
K. That's Webpage programming...I was asking if it was easier to create games on SmileBASIC or is it easier on something else. Sorry if I misunderstood something, and I'm not looking at the right webpage...
If you want to make ACTUAL games (and not browser games), then SmileBASIC is the best start, as it is easier to understand the basics. If you want to make browser games, learn a bad language. Err, I mean JavaScript. Block coding goes nowhere. (opinions may be in this comment. Read at your own risk)
In other words, SmileBASIC is the easiest language I've learned, excluding languages I've marked as being 'too simple'. (with no variables or otherwise memory access, for example)
I have a follow up question. What would be a good resource to learn the basic language? Every time I try and Google basic language tutorial I either get videos teaching me a foreign language or videos teaching me the fundamentals of programming in other languages.
To earlier comments, Game Maker isn't the best, but from what I can remember you're able to use actual code on it instead of those predetermined 'blocks' that it tells you to use.
I actually had a somewhat functional topdown shooter that I made in GM using actual code but I had to stop cause my trial ran out
It's definentely not the best, but you can learn actual coding in it
