Get 'Flash' by Macromedia, you program in Action Script ;)...it's not that hard...I never took the time to learn it though.

Re: [Flash]Info plz
Flashplayer is compatible to do very complex things, yet simple enough for any computer-literate person to use. Making a game in flash, however, is only as hard as the human behind the scene perceives it. You can make a game similar to "Where's Waldo?" simply by drawing a pink circle on top of a background full of red circles. If you right click your pink circle, and convert it to a symbol, you can make it a button. Then, it's pretty easy to tell flashplayer "If someone clicks this button, send them to next level" or something like that.
Flashplayer has a very powerful editor similar to paint. Anyone can easily pick up flashplayer's tween operator (the function allowing you to move/transform objects around the screen in a straight line, on a path, or in a rotating frenzy).
You can find tutorials for learning flash on various web-sites all over the web. Youtube is a good source for video tutorials. If you're looking for a specific function, you can google: - Flashplayer 8 tutorial "Create MovieClip" - (searches for tut to create movieclips in flashplayer 8.)
Just like flashplayer, any programming language in use today can be found/learned the exact same way.
