If your talking game programing, I played around with DarkBasic a while ago. Did some OK stuff in it... It is pretty bloody simple, and does most the hard work for you. They have a "pro" version that I have never used, but that looks like its good. http://www.darkbasic.com/ Blender (which I belive is a freeware 3d modeling / rendering / game creation program) does some game stuff (though I've never used the program, and don't know just what type of stuff it does). http://www.blender3d.org/
