Any game takes time and work to accomplish. As such I recommend downloading the trials of these various software programs and using the one that you like the most.

There is also PyGame and XNA as other free choices if you are more interested in the programming aspects of things.

[opinion]At this point I would not recommend C++ (Although other people might). C++ just has too many pitfalls to be used by a beginner and really it shouldn't be used unless there are no other options. I say this as someone who has used C++ for many years..[/opinion]
shadowisadog Im very Gratefull to your reply Thank you

At this point I would not recommend C++

Hey Guys you can suggest commercial game engines too

Again Thanks shadowisadog For your reply
To make simple games i highly recommend Game Maker 7.
I'm a novice C++ programmer, wanting to succeed and learn. If you ever want to be my friend or just talk add me.MSN IM: hazardx_anime@hotmail.com
Well thanks for the reply
maybe i will go with darkbasic looking to make a small rts game in 3D
I agree with everyone else, learning C++ as your first langauge is hard; it's a very powerful language, but can be very hard to use. I'm a 3rd year university student that worked as a programmer before university and I still occasionally get stumped by some obscure 'feature' of C++. If i was in your position i would go with pygame, its written in python which I find is the simplest and nicest language to program in.
MrMark
Im going to learn c++ anyway in the Future
but pygame is there are anygood tutorial for it i mean plenty of it
well i said darkbasic becuase there are book for it but 3d game A7 doesn't have any
Work your way through this:

When you begin to understand most of its concepts (loops, functions, lists/dicts, etc.) you can probably take a look into pyGame. I noticed that I was ready for pyGame when I began to fully understand loops and think about how they could be used in a game.
