First, you need to know a programming language.  Many games are written in C.  Next you will have to brush up on your graphics arts skills and if you want CGI (pixar-like) animation you will also have to learn about rendering.\n\nAs far as being free, there are some pieces of software out there.  Google for a free C compiler and also free rendering tools.\n\nBeyond that you need knowledge and an in-depth plan.  Writing computer games is very difficult.  Even bad games can take months to years to design.  You really need to learn about project lifecycle management.\n\nMy suggestion is practice by making something small like a tic-tac-toe game.  I know this sounds stupid, but it will show you what goes into planning for a game.  There are many books about game planning.  I would suggest you go to your local Barnes abd Noble and read one.  Find a chair there and bring a pad and paper you will be taking alot of notes.\n\nRemember it takes more than a great idea to make this work.  Good Luck.

You will probably have to use DirectX or OpenGL and try and create your own user interface;  It shouldn't be too hard, but you would have to create your own GUI interface for input from either a mouse or keyboard (mouse would be easier).  Check out some game development sites;  By the way, C++ code that does that would be extremely long, and couldn't be shown in an answer on this site.  You might try going to a development forum and asking people for help, but it's not going to be easy at all.

i suggest you study how minesweeper works and try to make one of your own. the logic of the game is good and of course you have to learn how to control the mouse in your program. Good luck!

Game Maker, well i have worked with this engine for a while, i know that it seems to be really hard for newbies, i was once a newbie at it too, to the point that i couldn't even create an object, this engine does take time, but it is a really really good game making engine and worth the time, i have now created games with network capabilities with this engine, so i give it a go with Game Maker.

c or c++ are usually used for game programming, but any language can work, if they're supported on your intended target platform (windows, unix, etc.) and provide the features necessary for your project (access to accelerated graphics, for instance).\n\nat http://www.gamedev.net/reference/articles/article892.asp you can find an (in my opinion) pretty good article on how to move into game programming: start with simple things, add complexity as you go.

It isn't as easy as you think buddy... I'd stick to enjoying the games, it really is a pain staking process.\n\nBut if you really are interested, I would head on over to www.flashkit.com, they have some great tutorials.

To make computer games you should learn OpenGL. Latest version of Java (Tiger) has OpenGL API support. The OpenGL is the most widely used product in designing 3D animations and games.\n\nFor more info go to:\nhttp://www.opengl.org/

There are loads of options of programs/ideas to do, depending on what sort of level your at. You could do a simple Paper, Rock, Scissors game. A harder Tic, Tac, Toe game requiring Matrix arrays. Or a hangman game, its a bit harder. Good Luck!

Game Maker by  Mark Overmars can be used to make EXE programs. it was made for game making, but it can do much more.\n\nhttp://www.gamemaker.nl/\n\nIf you don't want the program to have a screen ad then download version 5.0\n\nit is free or you can get the full 20$ version. You need no programming skills.
