   what program
  What program do i need to make a game and where can i get it.Am sure its c++ but i herd something like dev c++.allso if its c++ where can i see fre sites to tell me how to learn it 
  have you checked out the For Beginners section of this site yet?  (look at the top of the page, yellow text "For Beginners").  It very nicely answers the questions you just asked.-me   [edited by - Palidine on February 16, 2004 2:17:59 PM];  this is the  Beginners section ;  OH I KNOW WHAT UR ON ABOUT ;  I will clarify for Palidine; he meant the "For Beginners" link under the "Resources" section, not the beginners forum (i.e., go here: http://gamedev.net/reference/start_here/)C++ is a *language*, not a program. It annoys me so much when people get that confused (not that you should know any better at this point, but the earlier you break the habit, the better!)There are lots of programs around that let you write C++ code and compile it. Dev-C++ is free and quite good, you can find it at http://www.bloodshed.net/dev/devcpp.htmlAddtionally there are plenty of sites with tutorials. A quick Google for "C++ tutorial" will turn up a lot, and the aforemention "For Beginners" resource page probably has a bunch as well.Good luck to you! ;  One more thing am going to use c++ to make games but by useing this i can make other things is this true like diferent kinds of programs not just games. ;  C++ allows you to convey your ideas in a way that a machine can understand.  What you choose to convey is up to you.
