Anyone used it? Anyone give me any tips / hints etc? Anyone suggest a better program?
And, the big one, and I have no idea how this would work, but anyone want to work with me to create a game?
I'll still spend the weekend looking over some software, probably into next week as well, and we'll take it from there.
So, if anyone has any simple yet addictive ideas - list them here :-)
Think of a really, really simple idea - something involving moving shapes or whatever. The graphics can always come later.

I'd advise learning to walk before you run. I can confidently predict that this project will NEVER get finished.
Sorry, but that's just the way it is.
You need to start off with simple things before jumping into the deep end. I’m not trying to p on the flames of enthusiasm, but just saying “I decided to make a game this morning” is not a recipe for success.
Something like tetris is your best bet. It's a well know game, you have a final product to comapare too, and it contains ALL the elements a game needs. It's boring as hell, but a nessecary step.
