   Thinking about taking up game programming
  I'm currently going to school for Application Development and am in need of a new hobby. I'm taking my second course on VB with a couple on Java and database programming to follow. I figure by taking up game programming I can learn a new language and have a little bit of fun with it. My ultimate goal is to be able to make an old school 2-d RPG.What I want to know is:What language should I use, and where can I find some good tutorials/learning resources for it?Pre-thanks for anyone who helps me out!   
  There are many threads on this so searching through this forum board should yield some interesting discussions. Personally, I'd go with Python and PyGame - it's an easy language that allows for pretty fast development. There's some tutorials on the PyGame site, too.
