There are many programing languages out there you can yse to make computer games, but since we are dealing with the basics here we for the most part will be using ActionScript 2.0
There are advantages and disadvantages to using actionscript, but its fairly simple to learn and there is a very useful tool, or IDE (Indipendent Debugging Environment) that we can build a simple game in in a matter of minutes. (yes, it is possible!)
that IDE, is called Adobe Flash, and you can download a trial version if you do not have the full software.
If you do not want to use actionscript for your game, you can still use this tutorial, however you should understand the differences between the syntax of actionscript and that of your chosen language.
other languages you can use to create games could be C++ or Java, as they are also fairly simple to learn and can offer more features, however; neither have the simple IDE that actionscript does, wich is ideal for indipendant developers.
