There isn't really a place to put this, but coding is the closest fit, so here we are.
For the past few months i've been using Game Maker Pro 7, it's a game development tool that has been designed over the past 10 years to be as easy as drag and drop for the amateur, an easy to lean language GML for the experience and has support for most major programming languages like C++ for teh expert.
In fact i know software/game developers who like to use this when they aren't working, because despite it's restrictions it allows them to develop small games very quickly.
I'm currently working on a few games, most of which will never see the light of day because they are to learn the tools, but one in particular i'd like to complete. This post isn't about that though.
Tim has gotten the programme and if it's the hacked Pro version he might be able to tell you where to get it and if people would like to discuss ideas then we can on here.
This is my latest hobby and i've gotten quite into it. The website also has alot of submitted examples that people have made using it for you to play, some great, some shit. http://www.yoyogames.com/
