Since I'm only 13, what the heck...how do you write games? I want to go write computer games when I get older, and I decided that I might as well research it when I'm this young. Then I found this site and I just figured, Who better to ask than people who actually make games. So if you can, could you just help me out there? I'd really appreciate it.

First of all, 13 isn't too young. Most of us are still 15-20. As for learning how to program, I actually suggest learning Verge 2.0 with the tutorials written by aen. They're very good tutorials, and after you've learnt how to code in V2.0 (which is quite dead), picking up other things--C++, Python, Allegro--is a piece of cake. The only problem is, I'm not quite sure where aen's tutorials are...

aen's tutorials.... at least some of them... are under tutorials on the left side of this page.
I agree, C++ should be a snap if you know verge C 2.0...
verge 2.7 uses python, if you want to learn that(reletively easy... i suppose) there are tutorial for python at www.python.org.
Don't get discouraged... I'm only 16.

Best way is just to download stuff, play around, ask questions, and just having fun doing it. Start small - don't try making a full game on your first try!!! Do things like making a ball bounce around the screen, or something like that.
I dunno, I just have a good feeling about ya, you're not like some of the other newbies we get who are even older than you. ^_^
By the way, I started programming around your age, so it's certainly doable. Have fun. :)

Well back when I was 14 the only verge was v1, but that's irrelevant. Go find a game of the style you want that has source with it and download it play it all the way through and then look at the code and see kinda how stuff is done then try to replicate that in your own crappy test/demo/game thing. After you feel resonably confortable with the engine you selected you can start making your game. Oh, and read the docs and then ask questions.

Hey, thanks you guys. I'll try all of that and I hope I do ok. I'm glad that there are a lot of other people that are able to do it really well and aren't all too much older than me. Thanks again.

tutorials at ric's site, extended play. Just check underneath Verge sites in the menu bar to your left. It should be there.
They shouldn't be that hard to find. REALLY shouldn't.
