I’m new to the creation of video games and I would like to make my own game. What is a good (free) starter program that I could use?
I didnt say a complicated game, just a simple one. SO what is a good program for that?
That’s like asking what program you can download to write great poetry when you don’t know how to write poetry.
All you need to design a game is a text editor (to write the code) and a graphics program (like Gimp) to create the graphics.
Oh, yes, you have to know computer programming, program design, database design, a few computer languages, be a graphic artist … nothing you can’t pick up in a year or 10.
Okay, while the other answerer is correct, and you are wasting your time with programs like this, this link gives you a pretty good bet. Another option is the painfully simple programming language, Dark BASIC. You can literally learn it in a couple of hours, and you can make pretty good 3D games with it. They are only supported on a windows platform, however, and you have to buy a license for either option i’ve presented.
