What do you use to create games, those programming languages or other easy to use games development tools?

I am just proficient in Visual Basic. It is a very easy programming language. You can create games by using VB. But don't expect too much from it. If you want create professional games you should learn C++ and Java. For animations of your games, use Macromedia Flash.

What other things can you do using Macromedia Flash? Which of those that you've mentioned is the best one to use? What do you mean by professional games? Thanks.

I use Flash for online games. Actionscript is a high quality laungage that can do a lot. Some games like ones that stand alone, I use Multimedia Fusion 2 by Clickteam. Java never impressed me much. CPP is a nice language, but I just don't want to spend any more time sitting there with raw code not knowing what's gonna happen. Torque is also a good program for 3D games, and Game Maker for 2D games.

When I was in college I used Visual Basic, Pascal, and Visual Foxpro for making games. It was very easy, but you can’t make those amazing graphics that can be done on Flash.

Graphics are the ones I can't make using VB or Foxpro. It was way back in college when I really used these for programming but now I am completely out of touch.

If you want to make games with good graphics then I would suggest that you use Flash. This software is built especially for games. I wouldn’t depend on Visual Basic or Visual FoxPro.
