Hiya,

Another suggestion is Microsofts XNA. I have just started using this
and there are some decent resources on the web.

You need C# express edition and XNA game studio express. Both free
from Microsoft (see 'software' section in link below)

Have fun :)

In addition to Michael's recommendation, I would suggest that you look
at the XNA framework.

As a complete novice in the study of Python, I am asking myself where this language is superior or better suited than others. For example, all I see in the tutorials are lots of examples of list processing, arithmetic calculations - all in a DOS-like environment. What is particularly disappointing is the absence of a Windows IDE, components and an event driven paradigm. How does Python stand relative to the big 3, namely Visual C++,...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
