My aim is essentially to make Zelda II but redesigned - as Mario Maker allows you to redesign the original Mario game - but also to add new enemies and building features. In other words, same mechanics, changed layout, added enemies and some new functions to the environment.
As I understand it, this can be done, and would require first extracting algorithms from the original but also to know a programming language inside out.
I know nothing about programming, which is why I've considered approaching and possibly paying university students studying computer science who may know how to grapple such a task.
Ideas?
P.s. In case you do have tips on this, I'm wondering about things like difficulty, timescale, types of program, even the types of programmer (?).
