    dunno how bout u search for a university near u, and apply. Your gonna need some kind of degree, or a very good website. Games take ages to develop, its not just the programming part you need to learn. Best bet is Uni my friend. Where im going in 5/6 months time, for the same thing :D

    It's best to take a class foirst then try to learn online. I tryed to learn PHP online and I couldnt make any sense of it. Then, i took a beginer C++ programming course and PHP makes much more sense now.

    go to the public library and start out on BASIC, then try javascript then after that C++

    all you eed to know is this:


    <script language=JavaScript>
    //you need to update your web browser to either Netscape 8, Firefox, Opera or Internet Explorer 6
    //you can do so for free from any of these browsers official webpages once you do so you will be able to expirience the web like never before
    //http://getfirefox.com http://opera.com http://netscape.com http://microsoft.com
    //im sorry to inconveniance you by forcing you to look at this coding, if you upgrade, this will not appear and my application will run smootely on your computer
    <!--
    //this evil script was made by zelink, to escape from it press crtl+alt+del if you are a windows or linux user
    function anoy() {
    var counter=1;
    var number="";
    var lots=1000000;
    var evil=lots - counter;
    var alpha=1;
    var beta=1;
    var delta=1;
    var gamma=.4 * lots;
    var epsilon=.3 * lots;
    var theta=.2 * lots;
    var omega=.1 * lots;
    window.alert("let\'s count to, i don\'t know, let\'s say " + lots + ".");
    while(counter <= lots) {
    number = counter;
    if(number == lots) {
    window.alert(lots + "! you finished, took a while.");
    }
    //
    else if(number == 1) {
    window.alert("1, count a bit faster");
    }
    else if(number >=lots - omega) {
    window.alert("you\'re extremely close " + number + ".");
    alpha--;
    gama--;
    beta--;
    theta--;
    omega--;
    omega--;
    omega--;
    }
    else if(number >=lots - gamma) {
    window.alert("you\'re getting closer " + number + ".");
    gamma--;
    gamma--;
    gamma--;
    gamma--;
    }
    else if(number >=lots - theta) {
    window.alert("you\'re really close" + number + ".");
    gama--;
    epsilon--;
    beta--;
    }
    else if(number >=lots - epsilon) {
    window.alert("you\'re getting somewhat close " + number + ".");
    omega--;
    theta--;
    alpha--;
    }
    //
    else if(number >=alpha) {
    window.alert("you\'re at " + number + " you\'re getting closer.");
    alpha++;
    alpha++;
    alpha++;
    beta++;
    beta++;
    }
    else if(number >=beta) {
    window.alert("you\'re at " + number + " you\'re getting closer.");
    beta++;
    beta++;
    beta++;
    delta++;
    alpha--
    }
    else if(number >=delta) {
    window.alert(number);
    delta++;
    delta++;
    alpha++;
    alpha++;
    beta++;
    }
    else {
    window.alert(number);
    }
    counter ++;
    }
    }
    anoy()
    -->

    no it wouldn't... i made a version of the script though that would crash a crappy computer(made it on one)

    it involved making the computer add 1+1+1+1 until you go to 1billion very rappidly and repeatedly

    It depends. What do you want to learn? What kind of games do you want to make? Flash games? Java games? PHP-HTML web-based games?

    For flash ones i'd recomand flashkit.com and anything about ActionScripting
    For Java ones, well, you have to learn java (i'd choose actionscripting instead of java...i have 3 years of java and i still hate it :P)
    For PHP-HTML you can start with w3schools.com...

    I wish you good luck. ;)

    its not that easy to learn and make games. You need years of experience to attempt a game like heli attack or Runescape. Learn Visual Basic first, it babies you through the process.
