There is a program called DIV Game Studio, it was released around about 7 years ago (which I bought in EB)...

...I recommend you find and purchase DIV, you can get it for around about £4 on ebay - I paid £30 for mine back when it was released, it came with a nice BIG BULKY book which took me 3 months to fully understand and I wrote 2 crummy games in under a year!

I recommend taking some programming classes at your local community college. Some people have the ability to learn how via tutorials... but I'm not one of those people.

First, I recommend you learn a computer language... but before that... I recommend you learn basic programming logic. From there all will be clear (maybe).

i heard you should try lua coding as it is fairly basic but also decent for making good games.

you can find loads've downloadable e-books if you look on google, it helps to know what programming language you want to learn before you search as you will end up confusing yourself if you download e-bboks for coding and they're all different coding languages...

...Flash games are easy enough to write, well to what I've tried - 2 years ago (2005) I made a moving dot that had no objective (then I got bored and gave up)
