| Generally, games are not easy to create. Do you have programming experience? |

I haven't tried GameMaker personally, but it looks like a nice way to produce games that are not too ambitious. It has a huge community. |

Here are a couple links of libraries I've used to do basic 2d sprite gaming in c++. You can youtube tons of tutorials on both =].
http://alleg.sourceforge.net - Allegro http://www.thegamecreators.com/?m=view_product&id=2128 - Dark GDK http://youtu.be/prQ2RfnrP_8 - Dark GDK tutorial http://youtu.be/rYAcoQOgqSY - Allegro install tutorial Also, both are free. You would need Visual studio for Dark GDK but I know you can use express 2005 which is free. Good luck. |

These are fine to use for a C/C++ programmer who wants to try program games, but these two languages are extremely unsuitable as a first programming language to learn, especially alone, without any training, and without a book. I really recommend trying any game-creation system first, and then if you meet the limits of such systems and hunger for something more powerful, you can seriously consider learning programming. Using a friendlier language, like C# or Python. |
