Hi guys,Game programming, a subset of game development, is the programming of computer.If you have this awesome video game idea, and are thinking of creating your own video game. You can use game maker software.Using easy to learn drag-and-drop actions, you can create professional looking games within very little time.

In our computer tech class, we're messing with Adobe Flash Proffessional, but that's for if you want to make flash games, not actual games. If you are trying to make a flash game, you could probably find a good torrent for Adobe.

Lol, alice is awful, we had to use it for the first month of two of my degree to teach us the basics of object-oriented programming. I can't imagine making a game with it.

Agreed. If you really want to make games, don't rely on a software package to do so. You may have a great idea for a game, but you're going to want to write it down because you won't be making it any time soon.

For people who want to make real games: Learn how to actually program first. Go grab a book on C++ or something (I'm not actually sure what language game developers use the most...) and start there. You're not going to be able to start pumping out a game if you don't know how to program. It takes work a lot of work; Way more than most are willing to put into it. You do need to know how to use image and modeling software but that comes last. Then there are graphics APIs(DirectX, OpenGL) which are even more hell. You're not going to be able to make a decent 3d game right off the bat. Heck, you're not even going to be able to make a decent 2d game. Start small with tetris, pong, pacman, or something similar. And if you like it, stick with it. Then years down the road you might be able to join a team that will do something worthwhile.
