    General Tools and tutorials needed to make A game?

    I want to make a game but I dont know what tools I know to make it with, I know c++, but what else?

    And if so, what tutorials would you recomend? To make a simple game?

    And if your bored, Why not help me make it.

    For C++ I'd recommend using:
    - A compiler (gcc\g++, msvc)
    - A debugger
    - Graphics\game libraries (DirectX, OpenGL)

    Some idea of what you're trying to create..

    There are websites dedicated to tutorials which will get you started. Google is your friend.


    You might want to look for XNA, and learn C#\.NET. Could be easier to start with.

    Yeah XNA is definately a great starter. Easy way to get your feet wet and lots of documentation available. And if you have questions there are a lot of helpful people in Xbox Live's Indie community if your thinking of going that route.
