Well, I'm sure many have posted here about this, but I used flashmx a little bit and made stupid maze games, and I want to make something..."worth playing" My only experience is copying commands from this Flash site and pasting them so I made a maze game. I heard that C++ was a good one for games, also Java, but I also heard Java limits you, in a way. I know nothing of each, and My library has a Java and C++ book so if ya'll can kind of post Pro's and Con's of each what each can do, I personally want to create "shooter games" kind of, 2d, 3d anything to begin. Any help will be greatly appreciated :)

from what i know java should be easier to work with, and i would go with java if you plan on making games.

never coded a game myself, but i would think c++ would be able to do anything so you should go with that.

I think to learn about game programming you should familiar with java..because most of the game programming is composed from java..C++ and graphic is also good to work with..I think you should also go for that..

I would rather prefer to compose the flash games with the Java language, as it is to be known as one of the easiest programming languages, which is always being used to develop the online games.
