[gameprogrammer] Re: New to Game Programming ...... Plz HELP AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHRGH

Maybe you wanna begin with something less hardcore than C/C++. I
started out with a basic/multimedia language called Amos (for the
Amiga) which I feel now was a great start because I could start
building games directly instead of "reinventing the wheel". I've heard
good things about this language:

http://www.darkbasic.com

It's $50 (US dollars) so it's really affordable for what you get, a
nice book for instance, and lots of ready-made content (graphics/sound
etc.) and a large game-making community to get inspiration/ideas and
help from! Take my advice and spend a few bucks on this thing instead
of trying to find all tools/info you need for free on the net, you'll
spend all your creative energy on searching the net instead of
creating games. :)

Good luck on your quest it will be tough at times but it is WELL worth it!
