I want to create a Rogue-like, but...
I am wondering where I should start? I know a little bit of C++ but it has been a while, probably a year, so I need to refresh my memory. I have a few questions if anyone here is willing to give me any info and/or point me in the right direction. Just a few basic questions first:
1. Do I need to create a game engine to make a rogue-like?
2. Do I use Win32 application, or do I use Console application to develop in?
3. How long would it generally take if I dedicated an hour or 2 a day to do this? I have a very busy life schedule, but would love to tackle this as a side project.
This would be a basic rogue-like to start with, nothing fancy. This would be my first video game as well if I can successfully do this. This may be truly daunting at first for me, but I would love to get back into programing again.
If there are any websites, videos, or programming blogs that people make as a hobby and that are helpful, please let me know! It would all be GREATLY appreciated!
Edit: I thought it was worth noting that I am using Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows Desktop
