I want to learn how to make a game. Where do i start?

So far I think I've heard XNA can do 3D games. But if anyone here develops 3D games, what do you use?

I love 2D, but a lot of my ideas are better done in a third dimension.

XNA can indeed do 3D. As can GameMaker (but is very limited). Just remember that the extra dimension quadruples the amount of work.

If i'm fiddling around with 3D, i use Unity3D³ (version 3, that is). Just google unity.
It's powerful, and has a nice interface. Oh, and it's free, as long as you can stand the splash screen and a few missing functions. You can alo purchase packs that allow you to develop for iPhone, Wii and i think android is coming out soon

Yeah I've heard of Unity.

Does it require any prior programming experience?

a bit.

You have a choice as to which language you code in though, and there is heaps of support. It includes stuff like javascript, so it shouldn't be too much of a worry

Is it compatible with normal Java? That's what I'm learning right now.

Not a clue. i'll boot up my copy and take a look.

OK.
Unity supports the following programming languages' syntax (obviously Unity usues the script itself differently):
JavaScript
C#
Boo

If you mean http://www.falling-sand-game.com/ , it's a Java program.

Aah. No. I mean THAT GAME RIGHT THERE, not what you said.

Your link http://fallingsandgame.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=8096 doesn't work.

It does for me.

And BTW, it's just the flash TEST that's Flash.
