Dev-C++; look at openGL tutorials. Of course, there is a rather steep learning curve :p

( I am talking about programming )

C++ ... ACK!!!! NO!

Well... if it's an RPG... you may want to try RPG Maker XP... I believe Rase has the link somewhere... I don;t know where right now.

C++ is pretty much what you primarily use for writing games of any serious quality.

Yea, on DOS. Or maybe that's just the version of the compliler that my school used. I've had bad memories about C++.

For beginers, or for people who don't want to deal with extensive programming, I would say RPG Maker XP. However, if you don't wish to make an RPG, Game Maker isn't too bad in my opinion.

wrm; c++ is the most compatable lanuage to date that I know of. All comes down to the compiler; seriously though - Cpp is the most game friendly language. VB has been used in the past as well, which is just great, if you like to suck.

C++ is simply the way to go if you want to write any commercial games. Otherwise kits like RPG maker are just peachy; but I don't think you can sell what you make with out a royalty somthing or other.

they had c++ back when people still used dos? Wow. I woudl've thought they'd used BASIC or something back then.

C++ has been around since forever. Early 1970's I know for a fact, cannot tell you what exact year. But yeah, DoS actually had a decent family of compilers supporting it. Basic was only more popular for it's ease of uses; and since gui's were hardly friendly (Save for apple's os) till the mid 90's, scripting was needed by a higher % of the computer users.

The only real thing I have to this thread is that Spawnofsephiroth sounds like he's looking for something akin to [Game Maker] (http://www.gamemaker.nl/) or 3D Game Maker] (http://t3dgm.thegamecreators.com/). I know, creative titles.

*edit* oh <img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif">, I meant c :) lol Well, Cpp is dirived straight from c - so whatever :)


Also, if you dont want to get code intensive check out studio 3dmax and maya.

After all, C++ == C with extras

Man, I come into the thread late and I have almost nothing to add.

But since I took so much time to read through the thread I'm going to post my thoughts as I read through this thread:


does anyone know if there is a program i can buy for my pc that will allow me to create my own game? i think that they make them, but i am not sure. if anyone knows, please let me know. thanks.:choc2:
For a beginner, RPG Maker is the way to go.

Java > C++ :p


they had c++ back when people still used dos? Wow. I woudl've thought they'd used BASIC or something back then.
C++ has been around for 20+ years now.


C++ has been around since forever. Early 1970's I know for a fact, cannot tell you what exact year.
C has been around that long, but not C++.


After all, C++ == C with extras
Yup. And that's why Java is better than C++, Bipper. It's all about evolution. :p

C -> C++ -> Java



So that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Now I feel like I contributed something to this thread and I can sleep tonight. :chef:

If C++ > C because it has extras, that would make C# > C++. :p

Also, Java > C++.

java is C that can't speak c, so it needs an inturpeter. Imagine; going to a taco bell and before you order, you must tell your order to a a translator whom will then tell the resteraunt what to cook. No thanks, give me a quazi screwy order any day :) I hate waiting for food. <img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif">; now I am hungry; but if JAVA had anything to do with my food, I would be bloated. AHhhaha1! Get it? Bloatware.. bloated.. oh gawd!


C# is a microsoft mongoose, and there for sux with no explination really needed.

Java is cleaner than C and C++ in a lot of ways...and a heck of a lot slower on most platforms. Thus, Java just isn't the right thing for most complex realtime uses.
