Hello, I'm new to these forums and I was wondering if any of you guys know a programmming language that is more designed for Video Games than casual software. I want to make a basic 2D platformer or maybe a simeple RPG that has a moving sprite. I have tried C++ and it was HELL for me! The code was very hard and very complex.

RPG Maker does not specifically allow coding (atleast back in 2000) but does have procedural algorithms, and does somewhat introduce OO design. I would recommend GameMaker …
