So take out name- and move over the name more to the right and make it a color for everyone but a different color each one.

[zeldarpwner]

It's great. You should add Playerworlds, but I don't really know if that is a Game Maker or not.

[eminem0413]

Nice list but you forgot one of the biggest, micromidia flash. It may not be the easiest but it is the best. It can save games as flash files which is easier for everyone.

[acef596]

Your welcome and thanks even though you told me already.:rolleyes:

You list C++ as a program that makes games, and link to a Microsoft website. First, C++ is a standardized programming language, and therefore a link to Microsoft is inadequate. How about link to GCC, a free and open source (and commonly declared "one of the best") C and C++ compilers.

I do not work with C+++ but i heard it makes games I am not sure what it does or what it is capable of I just know people that have and use it.

[Danzo]

Yeah most people just use Yo Yo games, Game Maker :)

This thread doesn't deserve a sticky at all, because the only thing that the forumer here has done is went to www.gamediscoveries.com and found some ''Game Making Systems'' under the option ''Game Making Systems''. Copied the exact discription text and that was basically it. I think just giving the link to that site would help, because in my opinion we are old enough to search alone on gamediscoveries.com.
