May want to consider Python. Take a look at BLender3D, which has an intergrated game engine to create 3d based games. Also blender can be used to export to the crystal space 3d engine.
Seems like there are alot of game engines, at least in Opensource land, that are using Python more and more.
As a matter of fact, gaming is easier once u develop on top of a gaming engine. I gave try to 3D State engine and it rocks!!! Its available for many prog langs like VB, VC++, C# and Delphi etc.
I tried with VB. You have to accept that VB relieves lot of pressure from the programmer's head. Its case insensitive, has the world's most advanced IDE! what else needed? Since finally everything is handled by the gaming engine, all you need to do is call the functions and program the world behaviour. Lets you focus more on actual gaming rather than having u wonder "what the heck is the problem with retained mode?" QUOTE(unimatrix @ Aug 17 2005, 08:26 AM) May want to consider Python.

Seems like there are alot of game engines, at least in Opensource land, that are using Python more and more.  Totally agree. There are some amazingly good opensource 3D game engines incl Crystal Space, and a lot of other useful libs that use it (e.g. for animated character controls, etc). To me, this is the main benefit, since you can be up and running very quickly, yet all the source is there for you to tweak it once the basics are mastered. If you're doing something in 2D, Java is fine. In 3D, I wrote some code ages ago using VRML2 with Java. And now there's Java3D. Both are very easy, and have a lot of programmability. I've seen some impressive 3D Java games, with racing game that looked like 1995's Screamer. The only downer is that performance isn't near C++, unless you're prepared to spend a lot of time tweaking, and in the end you'll probably only get to 1995's graphics standard. There's not been that much done in J3D for a while now, probably since most people use D3D/OGL instead. Also, there are books on performance optimisation for Java & C++, and there are some tools to compile down to binary .. which defeats the purpose of Java but saves time in trying to speed it up! http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdot/to?m=256 and http://harkal.sylphis3d.com/2005/08/10/mul...ackless-python/ is a fairly recent discussion/article on python scripting for game engines. Some commercial engines even have Python scriptability  .I've also played around with UnrealScript in Unreal Engine v2. But I ran into a brick wall and decided to DIY something simpler yet customisable. If I get the change to start from scratch again I think I'd most likely go down the above route with Crystal Space 3D  .Kam.
If you don't like the GML (Game Maker Language) then use so called Dark Basic. It's easier than any other programming language. I'ts just made for making games but ofcource you can make some little programs.
I started out game programming by programming simple applets with java. Java was not very difficult to learn and it's easier than C or C++. I used jGrasp to write and compile my java programs. You can download jGrasp here. Happy game programming.
QUOTE(FearfullyMade @ Jun 11 2005, 04:03 AM) I would suggest giving Java a try. It is very similar to C++ as far as syntax and what you can go with the language goes. However, I think it is a little bit easier for beginners to learn. If Java is still to much for you at first, then try either some form of basic or a language like what warbird suggested. They should be even easier to learn. I like Java (and C++) because of all the power and freedom you have. If you have enough expierence you can do pretty much anything you want. Unfortunately, all that power and freedom does make them kind of hard to learn. My best piece of advice for you is to not give up. Regardless of what language you chose it is going to take some time before you become good with it. And it will even longer before you master the art of making games. But if stick with it and don't give up then I think you will eventually succeed regardless of what language you chose. Yeah, Java is pretty good with programming games. Be warned, Java can be a pain...because it requires a lot of actual code, but once you get the hang of it, its more or less a breeze.
So im the only one is going to recomend C/C++ ???
C/C++, Multi-Purpose, Fast, supports in-line assembly (for eliminating performance bottlenecks), hightly optimisable.
I would say GML. It's fairly simple and designed with games in mind. Plus, the Game Maker is a fairly good program. I use it, and I''ve made some decent games. That's why i need a site. So ya, go GML!
It's definatley GML, let us go over some of the many uses of GML...
[list] -Online programming (mplay) that can be used to make program updaters, online multiplayer games, chat programs, or even browsers with the right initiative and a .dll or two... -3D drawing functions (d3d) draw your 2d game into a 3d world, or make 3d models or 3d modeling programs. -ini functions (.ini) write, open, and/or read .ini files to store variables in them and then read them later for dynamic saving systems. -instance activation/deactivation for making games run faster and smoother, or making an enemy stay still until you near them... -Much, much more, so much that everyone reading this who uses Game Maker would have at least one thing to add to it.
