So I am a complete n00b at game making, although I understand basic code. I was just wondering what would be the best language to start making basic games such as pong and stuff like that, and then even into RPG games. Thank you.

Python comes highly recommended.

Make a quick search on the forum and you'll be able to get loads of info on your different possibilities. Tons of posts like yours have been made on this forum.

But yes, people pretty much agree that Python is a good beginner language. Its simple and syntaxically not far from other languages such as C/C++/C#/Java.
Where can I download Python?
First hit on Google

Tutorials can be found on the same site although many recommend Thinking like a Computer Scientist with Python.

I went to the download section and it says:
Quote:Windows

For x86 processors: python-2.5.1.msi

For Win64-Itanium users: python-2.5.1.ia64.msi

For Win64-AMD64 users: python-2.5.1.amd64.msi

This installer allows for automated installation and many other new features.


What one do I download & Install?
If you don't know what kind of processor you have you probably want the x86 version

C++: A Dialog | C++0x Features: Part1 (lambdas, auto, static_assert) , Part 2 (rvalue references) , Part 3 (decltype) | Write Games | Fix Your Timestep!

Yeah, x86 was the one I needed.

I installed it, but how do I open the program? I can't seem to...
My version has

Start Menu > Programs > Python 2.x > IDLE

does yours?
