i am a programmer working as a free lance in Pune (india). i would like to know what are the ways with which i could develop a game using VC++ or openGL or any other programming language. Akshay Randive Pune

First of all VC++ and OpenGL are n ot programming languages.
VC++ is a C++ compiler and OpenGL is an API (application programming language).
As for compilers you''ll probably wan''t VC++ as it''s one of the most commonly used and the best one to compile DirectX programs.
If you wan''t to make games you should use DirectX.
To get started with DIrectX programming go to
http://www.microsoft.com/directx and download the DirectX 7 sdk.
In it you get tutorials and everything else you''ll need to program with DirectX.
