#4995036 Just starting out...python a good choice?

I think you can use HTML5/Javascript to make games and not only static web-pages. The HTML5 spec has a canvas object to draw on, as I understand it (which, coupled with javascript, will let you make a game loop update/draw cycle).

Should you go with Python and Pygame, the pygame home page has a nice step-by-step tutorials series. I use Python + Pygame as it lets me focus more on the game design / design patterns / getting a basic grip on everything etc more than a graphics library API.
