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++.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.

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

*edit* oh
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:
For a beginner, RPG Maker is the way to go.Quote:

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.
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.
