What coding/programming software is FH/Aro'kai/etc made with?

[Corrosivee]

I really didn't know where to put this, so hopefully this is ok? I'm not sure how many people here would know about this kind of thing aha, but anyway.

What coding or programming software was FH or Aro'kai, games like that really, made with? I'm really interested in learning and I've done some looking around but I'm not sure which is best for a beginner, but good enough to eventually be able to make games like those.

Otherwise, any tips/advice for beginning this kind of thing? I'm a student so courses wouldn't be ideal, I'd prefer to teach myself.

Also, which would be best- Python, c++, or others?

Thanks! c:

When people make games like IT servers they use things like:
Microsoft Visual C++ (For the Coding)
Blender 2.69 (For Making the meshes)
And Gimp/Photoshop (For the textures and things)

For Aro'kai we use Ogre3D for rendering and mainly code in C++; Codeblocks and Visual Studio (2008/10) Express are the IDE's used.

Textures and art are made in Gimp, Photoshop, and/or Paint Tool SAI (depending on the staff member).

The primary version of Blender3D that we use for models is 2.49b.

We used Flash for the UI.

And when it comes to coding it really depends on what you want to learn, though I do remember that starting smaller than a major coding language is better. Memory's kinda fuzzy but stuff in HTML and I think..CSS? had some things that would make tackling stuff like C++ more bearable than nosediving into it from the getgo.

Though when starting C++ this site seems rather helpful.

I know HTML and CSS a bit already, I've designed websites a few times, but I wouldn't say I'm an expert. I'll definitely take a look at that website.

Thanks for the information and advice, I really appreciate it c:
