How to Make a Game in a PS3 Format

Like most game consoles, the PlayStation 3, or PS3, uses a series of codes to produce the games we see. PS3 developers build their products from the most basic code elements, creating an array of coded material that they will ultimately compile into a compatible PS3 product. If you're an individual gamer, PS3 software development kits offer the tools you need to begin creating PS3 games outside of a company setting. With a working knowledge of C++, you can begin designing your own products.

Things You'll Need

Computer
C++ compiler
PS3 SDK compiler

Instructions

- 1
  Study the C++ programming language until you have developed a proficiency with it. As many game developers rely on the C++ language for development, you will need to thoroughly understand the intricacies of this protocol.
- 2
  Purchase and download a graphics development and compiler program, such as Adobe Photoshop, Corel Draw or Unity, that will allow you to create in-game graphics for your PS3 game.
- 3
  Download the PS3 software development kit, or SDK, if you wish to develop games outside of a company setting. The PS3 SDK kit functions as a compiler, taking the code you have developed and producing a viable PS3 product from it. After compiling your game, you should be able to launch your production directly from the PlayStation's main interface.
