Game Maker Pages is OK
it contains some games made already so u can try them
Game Maker is for a 2d game, and its not very good.. anyways it dosent matter i think i mayb in a team :P
Well...You really haven't narrowed it down.
You could just create a game from RPG Maker XP
Or you could make a game from a game engine like Multiverse.
Or you could make your own engine, and your own graphics etc and code it raw.
3D Engines
(Free) Irrlicht - Irrlicht Engine - A free open source 3d engine -an Open source 3D engine, very fast, very easy to use.
(Free) Ogre - OGRE 3D : Open source graphics engine - Home - My favorite of free 3D engines, another free open source engine, it has a great community, and a really cool resource managment system! It also has a great Particle editor!
(Free) Crystal Space - Main Page - Crystal Space 3D - A powerful 3D game engine with a rather large community following.
(Free) Delta 3D - Delta3D - Open source gaming & simulation engine - This is an open-source 3D gaming and simulation engine. It's free to use it any way you wish, and is designed to easily work with any other open-source programming project.
(Free) Panda 3D - Panda3D - Free 3D Engine - This is the same engine that was used to create Disney's ToonTown. Disney then threw into the open-source ring. You can now download it for free to use in whatever you like. It has both Python and C++ bindings, supposedly the Python ones are almost as fast as the C++ ones.
(Free for Windows/Linux) Q Developer Network - Q Developer Network - This engine is cross-platform, but for the free version it can only be made for Windows and Linux. If you pay money, you can get it on OSX, FreeBSD, PS2, and Xbox. Other than the engine, it also comes with a pretty easy to use WYSIWYG scene editing tool.
(Free) The Nebula Device - The Nebula Device - This is is open-source, multiplatform, and has API's and libraries to couple it with just abouty any scripting or programming language. Their idea is to make things simple, sweet, and powerful. Each release has shorter more efficient code than the last.
Torque - GarageGames - Torque costs $100 for a license, but is a very powerful and extremely popular game development engine/system. Many commercial games (remember Tribes?) were made using this.
Other Engines/Libraries
(Free) CEGUI - Main Page - CEGUIWiki - A slightly complex but very flexible User Interface library (used by the OGRE3D graphics engine, too!)
(Free) ODE - Open Dynamics Engine - home - A free, open-source physics library.
(Free) Newton Dynamics - Newton Game Dynamics - A free (and powerful!) physics library with a fairly easy-to-use API.
(Free) OPAL - OPAL: Open Physics Abstraction Layer - A free, open-source physics library wrapper library, that makes physics integration easy on a high-level. Currently only wraps ODE.
(Free) Tokamak Physics - Tokamak Game Physics SDK version 1 is now FREE - A physics SDK that now offers version 1 as free for all commercial/non-commercial uses.
RakNet - RakNet - Multiplayer game network engine - A powerful, high-level networking library that has recently left the realm of free software.
(Free?) Elysium Source - Elysium Source - Open source 2D MMORPG engine made in Visual Basic 6. A great place to start out game devving.
No, no, no, NO!
This topic has been discussed to death. Search before posting.
Learn something like C.
Why, yes.. I happen to know of the perfect game-making toolset. You have one program for audio, one for visuals, and one last program to do all the coding for you. You only need to choose the color theme. Oh shoot I forgot the URL. :(
What I'm trying to say here is, it's not about the programs.
That, or then it's just good fun to bash newbies. :shrug:
Sorry, GM is for 3d games as well, so look before posting.Quote:

No need to kick the topic when its down already.
Either way it doesn't belong here, this is about coding problems, not about game maker programs. Try software.
Locked.
