Which I think is great and I love it for that, but what about the users own arrays of game entity data?

totally agree, but the more help you can get from the compiler and runtime environment the faster you learn

I don't think all official schools use C/C++ as an introduction program, I know universities in Denmark use Java or C# as an introduction to programming and once the students master those languages they move into C/C++

I am sorry but that is a misinterpretation. I love C/C++, I work with it every day, it is my preferred language, but if someone would ask about learning programming from scratch I would recommend a modern language which helps you learn faster.

python bindings for AmiDark

Or maybe porting SWIG (http://www.swig.org/) and create a simple SWIG interface file for AmiDARK (the best would be if it is maintained by the AmiDARK author - as he adds functionality).
Then wrappers to any available scripting languages can be generated.
Looks like SWIG is pure C++ ... .

Yes it is easy to open windows, and load objects, but who is managing these objects and destroying them again?

Using AmiDark you would create an struct representing the player, the struct would contain a pointer to one or more objects loaded by AmiDark, the struct would contain a health integer and other stuff.

Before you know it, you want to manage multiple enemies, then you create an array pointing to structures containing information about the enemy.

Using AmiDark all of this has to be done in C, which is really really dangerous for an inexperienced programmer.

Just have a look at some of your ealier post to this forum and read how much you were struggling in the begining of your project.

I dont want to send people to other platforms, but if you want to start to learn programming and game creation then C has a very steep learing curve, which can be a motivation killer.

I am an engine programmer and have so far released 3 games for xbox360 and I know game programmers who hates C, because of long compilations times, which simply kills fast interations. They only worked in our own scripting language. Which in the editor was interpreted and compiled really fast. In game mode the scripting language was ofcourse compiled native to the platform to get maximum performance.

My point is, if have not programmed before, dont start by learning C, learn something else, get an understanding of software development and then learn C and other languages.

If it is the first case then my advise would be to start really slow and ignore all the people who tell you to use C/C++, OpenGL, AmiDark Engine. You will get into trouble with pointers, pointers to pointers, array indexing and all kinds of other thing which can go wrong, which will make your progress slow and frustrating.

Start with an interpreted language like python (pygame) or hollywood or well create your game in flash just to get an idea of what is required. I would even suggest you use a Windows pc, if you have one, and try to use GameMaker

I would still recommend Hollywood for a beginner as a starting point. On AmigaOS Hollywood games are quite slow and need some tinkering to make them playable, but on Windows and MacOS machines speed is enough for most simple games including platform games.

I would probably start with a high-level programming language as well before moving down to C or C++ as you will need to learn a few fundamental basics at first and it's best learning to do this in an interpreter environment.
