When you get use a programming language you are not getting a tool that will create the graphics, sound, and interface. You get a list of commands that can be combined in such a way, and take advantage of the computer's resources so that presented on screen is a game.
Take this example:
SET DISPLAY MODE 800,600,32
CLS
PRINT "Welcome to my game, I hope you enjoy playing it."
WAIT KEY
END
The above code, after adjusting the display mode and clearing the screen of any junk will print to the screen:
Welcome to my game, I hope you enjoy playing it.
It will then wait for you to press a key before exiting. Pretty boring game, huh? As you learn more commands you realize you can begin to tell the computer to make decisions based upon the player's input.
SET DISPLAY MODE 800,600,32
CLS
PRINT "Welcome to my game, I hope you enjoy playing it."
INPUT "Would you like to (1) say hello, or(2)exit the program?", choice
IF choice=1
PRINT "Hello World!"
ENDIF
IF choice=2
PRINT "Goodbye"
END
ENDIF
Eventually you will learn commands that manipulate graphics, sound, advanced input (keyboard, mouse, joystick, etc.), and you will learn skills and techniques that you will be able to combine in order to produce an effort that turns into a game.
