Can a non-programmer create games?
BYOND is one of the best chances a non-programmer has for getting a game created. But here is something you should be aware of from the beginning: You are not going to be able to do any substantive game in any system without learning some programming. BYOND is an excellent tool for you to get started. The language is object-oriented, clean and uncluttered, yet is a full-featured programming language that lets you do anything you can think of. The less you know about programming, the more you should start your programming career by buying The Dream Maker: Designer’s Guide to Worlds BYOND . It is an excellent book that will simultaneously teach you how to program and save you many hours of frustration. If it seems like this FAQ is pushing the book on you, you are catching on. Because when people don’t read the book, the authors of this FAQ end up answering many of the same basic questions over and over again. Make us like you: Read the book.
