Programming a simple game

The easiest way of making video games with limited knowledge is probably using Flash. There are a lot of tutorials on game making available for it, and it's not too hard to learn the coding side. The downside is the cost. Unless you are a student, Flash itself is very expensive. Games made using a student licensed version of Flash also aren't supposed to be used for any commercial purposes.

Maybe you should start with a Python book and then learn PyGame .

Scirra's Construct is the best way to make a game without programming experience. Flash is *not* a good program for non-programmers. As for making very simple games, again, Construct is the best solution: www.scirra.com It's free.

i am taking computer sci,..student... we get to lecture about video game,.. first they need to conceptualize the design the game,.. characters, and settings,..the tragic what game do you create? second, after designing,..the program to make the characters to move,..it is not simple to create video game it take a year to create the full video game,..

If you are talking about game programming (not flash) it's not a easy task. Not only you have to do programming, you need a good designer as well for the graphics. And if you want to create a 3D game, then you need 3D graphics experts first. And yes, the game programming is just pure coding. Now you see, you want to make a new game for your desktop its not that easy even if you know programming! It's a huge job. By the way, I tried once and made my first 2D game long ago. Though it's not completed, I like to play it sometimes. :) Cheers.

You can try Alice. There is also a first person shooter game creator but I cannot recall its name. I personally use DarkBasicö but it requires some programming knowledge. However, if you want to make a quality game you should know some programming. DarkBasic is easy to understand compared with many major languages. I advice you to try it.
