Hello there, my english skill may lack, cause i am from germany, but i think you'll be able to understand me quite well. I work as a system administrator and till now, i had nothing to do with progrsamming. Sure, sometimes i wrote tiny scripts for automatic backup, or some powershell stuff, but nothing big. I set some goals for myself and ask you, how to reach them, to be more precise, what language will fit my needs? 1. For "learning purposes" a little game like pong and a small explorer, for learning and understanding the basics of programming and the language itself. 2. A 2D (3D) Game. I have something in my mind, for quite long i have to say. But for studying reasons, i never had the time to accomplish it myself. Now the time is finally there :) I know, the goals are quite rambling, but i am not able to expound my thought on it. But i struggled like the last few days, with "finding" the right language(s) for me. I came to the solution, that for the beginning, as you wrote in your FAQ, Python would be the best. I can make a Pong game, i can make an explorer and i can learn very easily and see results, what is the most important for me. BUT, can i make a solid, fast and stable 2D or even a 3D Game with Python, when it will be a fast acting PvP Arena game? Something like the "Warlock Funmap in Warcraft 3" -> If not, would it be better to learn a language after Python, with Similiar Syntax, which can manage that (Does this even exist?), or something like C++ / Java? A lot of questions and i hope i don't offent the damedev guidelines :) Have a nice day, Nopp

Maybe! I've never used it myself, nor heard of any finished games made with it, but it looks okay.

There was also a panda3d entree

Not a fan of python for games either though

Is it the game, that it is like 20 fps, when i switch to fullscreen?
