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.
