      What you thinking of using? I found Xna to be pretty good, there’s a nice tutorial site which I found useful.

      Hi Duggan,

      What is your level of programming experience in general? Have you coded before?

      These are some good videos on XNA
      http://www.xnavideotutorial.com/modules/XNA_201/

      ie the code they teach is not 100% awesome, however it s a good start. Since you have programming experience you should move quite fast, so then you can just start making something and come back with more specific questions.

      Thanks a lot i’ll have a look into it. By the way, do you need to install C# before downloading XNA or is it all included in the one package ans would i need to download 3D software like 3D Studio Max? Sorry about all the questions.

      You ll need visual studio before hand, (if you are a student, get dreamspark, and you ll get better versions of visual studio for frer) or get it now here
      http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/2010-editions/visual-csharp-express

      and then this (this is XNA 4.0) https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=23714

      no problem , let us know how you are getting on.
      There is this book I found good
      Learning XNA 4.0. Game Development for the PC, Xbox 360, and Windows Phone 7 (http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920013709.do)

      Again not perfect code, but will get you through the Whys? of some things.
