Program for making you own game

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:

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

( I am talking about programming )

[strike]C++[/strike] ... 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.

No c++? BLASPHAMY!

I hate C++.

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

NOT JAVA! (had to :cool:) FM will slit my calf.

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.

I call [bull], bipper! :|

The only real thing I have to this thread is that Spawnofsephiroth sounds like he's looking for something akin to [Game Maker] or 3D Game Maker]. I know, creative titles.

Call it all you want; it is true. *googles*

*edit* oh , 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
