Hi!

If you are a total beginner and want to easily get your first results, check
out

http://www.talula.demon.co.uk/allegro/

You can download a library for C/C++ there, which takes care of program
initialization, data loading / output, sound, keyboard, joystick, etc... It
works for DOS, Windows, Linux , Unix and BeOS.
You can also check out

http://www.allegro.cc

which is a collection of most of the games created with Allegro. Many are
released with sourcecode and I think there are also some fighting games you
can look at.

I'm new in the bussines... the last "game" I made was in '91 in an ancient
version of Turbo Pascal.

I always thought there were just one MAYOR languaje. A great "game maker" of
the games I played in Nintendo, Sega, Neo Geo and all that consoles.  Like
Word for text, you know.

I Decided to take the hobbie again and when I found you guys I've got a
shock. I don't know were to begin, you know... they're too many languajes...
and what's a "library"... man, i'm still stunned.

So, where to begin?, where to learn?...
What do you recomend me?
I would love to make fight games like the arcade classic Double Dragon, or
Street Fighter (remember when we were kids?). What languaje do you
recomend.. and if there's a book to learn it, where to buy it?

Hope you can clear the blur.
Bye
