I recommend Notepad ++ but default notepad should be enough for you.

all you need is a programming language and a compiler that compiles code written in this language to binary/executable files. and of course you have to know/learn how to program in the used language.

Start with Visual Basic 2008. It is the best for starting.
Simple Message:

MsgBox("Hello World!")
It is really simple. You can even make small games. After that you should learn C++ or C#.

1. Learn how to use Computer
2. Learn how to use Google
3. DONE

But because I am a nice guy (or at least I pretend to be) I tell you how
1. Learn how to use Computer
2. Choose a programming language (For example: C++)
3. Get a book for beginners for said language
4. Read and learn
5. Read Internet tutorials and more books for the next 5 years
6. ...
7. PROFIT!!
8. Congratulations, you are now a programmer!

Oh,and brain can help too!


... Get out you people.


Answering your question, i don't recommend starting with C++/C. I'd pick up some BASIC language on your place. You can try out DarkBASIC Pro, since it's free and effective, or if you have money, you can take a look, as others have mention, on BlitzMax.

There is also Game Maker, you can make great things with it and it has it's own scripting language.

Yet, it also costs, but not as much as BlitzMax does, it is more basic throught.


If you are going to pick-up C++, then Allegro is great and i presume, one of the easiest graphical 2d libraries.

That's all. Happy game making

There's a fine line between graphics development and software development in general. For the most part, game/graphics development also requires a somewhat concrete understanding of linear algebra and other higher level mathematics whereas general programming is just a logical tool that helps people understand certain sets of problem domains.

He've asked about game making, so i told him what tools could he use

However, you give the impression that the only use of these programming languages revolves around game development, which may likely deter new comers to the field. For the most part, Allegro is a DSL over native graphics calls implemented in the C++ language. Familiarity with C++ is usually required beforehand.
