So wait, java is too hard so you want to learn C++? C++ is harder than java and I don't think an 11 year old could use it to build games.

try ruby with hackity hack

lol i compared and java looks harder rotfl

ill take a lookie at that link, thanks

i have already started downloading lol so ima give it a shot

before i go to bed for then ight, i would also like to say that it doesnt look that hard, i think i CAN do it

look at the code for a PONG GAME::

#include <allegro.h>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <time.h>


int ball_x = 320;

int p1_x = 20;
int p1_y = 210;

int p1_tempX = 20;
int p1_tempY = 210;

int p2_x = 620;
int p2_y = 210;

int p2_tempX = 620;
int p2_tempY = 210;

time_t secs;    //The seconds on the system clock will be stored here
                //this will be used as the seed for srand()

int dir;     //This will keep track of the circles direction
            //1= up and left, 2 = down and left, 3 = up and right, 4 = down and right

BITMAP *buffer; //This will be our temporary bitmap for double buffering

Or Lua, which is about as hard as Ruby, I think.

A much wiser choice would be to try and start python.

Seriously? Python is a great beginner language and way easier than C++ and java.

When you said C++ I thought you meant you wanted to be rated that. LOL
