NEED HELP / TEACHER

Not only C++, but yes, anything you want to really make on a computer (Really you) , you have to know a programming language.

No you do not, you can make games in C# or Visual Basic, using the Microsoft XNA framework. You can also make games for XBOX and Windows7 Phones using XNA as well.

thnx 4 so many replys so anyone wanna teach me c++or programing tools im gonna

go to collage for computer programing and game design so till then who wants 2 help

also scratch looks cool but game maker idk i more liek fps if there is 1 can u give me download link/

what to search on google

Probably ur better off learning how to use a game engine, if your going to be in game design. Ofcourse DirectX is good too.

good idea but ima try a creator for a day or so playin around then ima actualy learn c++

One person making his own game engine. I lol'd.

As previously stated, you must learn a programming language first. Once you've done that, you can learn some advanced API to draw/render shit. For 3D you can learn Direct3D/OpenGL/SDL/XNA. For 2D, as far as I know, you can use Direct2D/OpenGL/SDL/Allegro/XNA.

o.o sooo what do i learn first also where and how long cuz balnceing xbox,pc,homework,swiming,ap classes,this gonna be hard

I'd say drop xbox time, and change your computer time into c++ time. That should be good.
