I want to learn the easiest programming language, but have no I idea where to start. I know basically nothing about the subject, I just want to learn the language then work my way up. I mostly just want to make games like you have on here. But I'm not a big fan of ActionScript's 700$ price tag so obviously money IS an issue here. Anyway as you can see I'm very good at typing these kinds of things so I'm just going to leave it there.
But how about flashdevelop, I read that is free and you can make flash game with it, is that true?
Yeah flashdevelop is free and I actually have it installed now, but 700$ for CS5 is quite a bit too steep for me.
Sure flashdevelop is free but there haven't been many games made in it from what I know having a good UI is pretty essential to developing a good game. It's more for highly dynamic games by people experienced with programming not newcomers.
So I think I'm going with python. (Not sure though.)
Best choice for a beginner, try Pygame if you want to get into game development with it.
If you're going with python, you can't post on armorgames. I don't know of any sites that accept python games.
If you can't be bothered to find a job to pay for it then posting a game on AG should not be a concern. Also OP did not mention that the only reason he/she wanted to make games was to post on AG. He/She only mentioned that they wanted to make similar games.
Also Flash-develop and AS3 as a starter language and environment are a poor choice.
