Hello,

I have a plan for what I want in my game, but no idea how to go about doing it. I know most of C#, although I haven't utilized it much, and use Visual Studio.

Here's what the basic plot of my game is:

There is a For Beginners section available on the top of the page. What you're saying is basically asking how the game should be entirely done, which I think is not our job.

We'll answer only specific questions and try solve them, and, when possible, use our creative problem solving skills to improve the resolution.

Do you want to hear if this is a good idea or do you want help?
You didn't asked a specific question, it kinda reminds me of homework back in school
"Thomas has 3 apples and eats 1, then he puts the other ones in a mixer and makes apple juice. How big is the surface of the sun?"

You should first start by creating your code base.
Most games are based upon a "game loop" structure.

Search for this term, or better search for a beginner game tutorial. There are plenty and all of them will teach you how to set up the base for a/your game.

Then build your own idea in top of that.

Really vague and not much information here..

• 2d or 3d game?
• What is your goal in creating this game?
• Do you even want to learn to code?

Unless you say your goal is to go to school and become a programmer at Valve or something most people will probably direct you to an existing engine like Unity rather than coding yourself. Or even something like game maker. If coding and making a portfolio is your desire then the response will be completely different, although learning to use an engine doesn't hurt.

From reading the above I get a feeling you are trying to make an RTS?
I would advise starting with a TBS as most of the same logic applies but is more permissive for "rookie mistakes".
