How long would it take to code a ps2 football game for pc?
Lets say I wanted to code a football game comparable to any madden game on the playstation 2 or xbox.
How long would it take to code a simple exhibition game between 2 teams with no other features but the one exhibition game with two teams?
I am asking how long it would take to code it for one person who spends 4 hours a day coding.
It all depends on your ability to code well. Good coders will only need to write base code once and reuse it elsewhere. This will save time as well as simplify your code.
As for coding 4 hours a day, I’d say an average coder would be able to code a football game in about 5-8 months.
It depends on your level of knowledge in programming, physics, and creating in 3D. Madden is created by a team of developers each with specific skill sets, there are people that design the 3D (stadiums, players, etc), people that code the UI, people that code the gameplay, people that perfect the physics. Realistically one coder working 4 hours a day could probably get this done sometime in the next couple of centuries, but honestly I wouldn’t get your hopes up that you can do it by yourself. If it was easy to make EA couldn’t charge $60 a copy.
