Thanks for everyones reply Someone mentioned i should start learning flash,basic, C plus etc and ij was wondering, which one is the easiset to use. Once you tell me that where can i download it Thanks for the helpZacheryWolf
So far from what you have said you have zero idea of what your doing. Whch one is the easiest to use? Well none of them really they all have their strengths and weaknesses. What your asking to do/learn is not something you study for a week and become a master of. Now ill admitt i got my start in programming learning to program games, but ive also spent 5 years in universiy and thousands of dollars learning this as well. If making a game was as simple as i believe you think it is, everyone would be making them.
As others have suggested there are programs out there to help you make more simple single idea'd games but thats pretty much where it ends. Past that you may want to look at flash, this however will cost you money.
For looking towards more native programming languages, usualy a simple place for people to start would be java. Java tends to be a bit more hand holding for users to get off the ground with, but is by no means easy or fast(althought it has become much faster).
If you want to try your hand at java i suggest you download the ecilipse compilier, and start reading beginner/first time java tutorials. You will need to spend time building up and working from the basics. Do simple projects(like hello world or writing text to a file) befor u can even attempt something like a game. Most people dont understand the work that goes into something like this.One of the first real games i attempted to program was an rpg, after a year i had about a 10min demo ready. In that 10 minute demo was about 100 pages of code. I was new so that didnt help, but things like graphics, animations, sound, colison detection, enemy ai/decision making, enemy colison detection/route solving, damage calculation, stat calc, effets, 3d effects, etc. It took me forever to figure out how to pan the screen to follow my charcter and redraw enviornments, textures, all while determing enemy movement, enemy activity(enemies stay idle if you are too far away) etc. AI is a huge programming task.
So yeah there ya go. Not tryin to deter you or anything, but people who program your games that you play, the majourity of them spends years and years at universities learning this stuff befor they become early good enough to actuall do it.
