Well, I'd suggest to start out simple. Python is a very powerful and
easy to learn programming language. Check out pygame. Pygame is ideal
for 2D games like side-scrollers. It's a simple game engine for python.
If you don't like python check out ruby. Ruby is newer than python and
i like it more. There is more support for python though. HTH |

Hey dude. If you want to start small GameMaker is they way to go. You can first start off with the simple drag and drop functions with carry onto it's own language GML. You have to code everything and GameMaker is very flexible in it's games. Many people have made RPG's and Sidescollers, even the mighty sonic clones have been made in GM with less to no errors in the programming. Although, if you want to go bigger C++and Delphi are the way to go. You can learn them for yourself and take them on into colledge and further maybe into a job. Main stream people earn around £43 grand a year. GameMaker can be found at www.gamemaker.nl C++ is going to be hard to find a compiler. Good luck
