Well, I want to learn one that doesn''t require you to download or buy anything. And isn''t very hard to learn and I can just learn it over the internet. I also want to try and make some multi-player games in the future so I guess that would be good. Please reply!

well it seems you''ll need to grab qbasic off your windows95 cd. While you''re at it, grab the Weezer video and watch it a few times.

Don''t want to download anything? Well if you disregard that requirement here''s a decent list:

C -- http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=c+tutorial
Java -- http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/
Scheme -- http://www.cs.rice.edu/CS/PLT/Teaching/Lectures/Released/

Their respective compilers and/or interpreters are found at:

gcc -- http://gcc.gnu.org/
javac -- http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/
DrScheme -- http://www.cs.rice.edu/CS/PLT/packages/drscheme/

There are also many on-line tutorials for Perl, Python, Ruby, etc. All of these have freely available compilers and/or interpreters. I recommend learning Scheme first, since it has simple syntax and presents programming principles with ease. When you want to kludge around all day with pointers move on to C.

HOW CAN I GET Q BASIC OFF A WINDOWS 95 CD?

Very carefully

-Peter Griffin

Just go to Start | Run (or hit Win-R if you''re a bad-ass like me ) and type in ''qbasic'' as the command. If it asks for any parameters, just leave the box blank and click OK.
