Great, now I would appreciate in knowing which path you have chosen.

are you talking to shadowblind or me? well if you are talking to me i'm gonna see what pygame can do, and if its less limited then game maker i'll stick with that.

[fg-54]

i know, but there are about 20 different downloads there, wich one is the engine?

Define limited, it has its own scripting engine that you can use so I cant see where the limits would be for a beginner like you.

The one under Windows which is the operating system that you are using.

And RTFM: http://rene.f0o.com/mywiki/PythonGameProgramming

Why am I going to get the feeling you are going to get the same problems again?
