RE: How do I get started programming games!!!

[Su Min Tan <smtan3@student.monash.edu.au>]

I think you should try VB scripts first and then move on to other languages.
Use Direct X sdk. They are really friendly when it comes to Graphics,
sounds, input etc. You can even use html or java. Some very good games use
html type codes. It is very powerful & versatile when it comes to
communications. Or..try Visuall C++..I don't quite like it but since
borlands' downfall..(don't you guys agree with the south park shooting?).
Heck that's life...

Good luck.
