Welcome to the babblefish language portal's Making Games page. We at babblefish have made a few games in our day and we too are learning as we go. So I decided to make a section were we can learn together. Making games is a very popular goal of many computer users. But many times it is frustrating trying to find information that actually walks you through the process. We have found some sites are very useful for the basic understanding and the advancement of your game making skills. We hope to have user participation in this area so if you have articles or demos with code then please share and we will be sure to give you a shout back on the site for your help.
