Welcome to the first part of a series of tutorials that will show just about anyone how to make a 3d game. 

    Note: These tutorials are intended for anyone who has sat around while playing some video game and wondered what it would be like to control and create your own game.  Game programming is a great hobby if you have a desire to learn about it.  If you don't this might be difficult for you.  Only follow these tutorials if you have a desire to learn about game programming and creating your own game.

    To make the game we will be programming it.  Programming is a way of giving your computer a list of commands.  Think of it as you giving the computer a todo list.  The computer will obediently follow the commands given in your program and it will perform the task at an extreme rate of speed compared to a human.  As you can see the computer isn't actually 'smart' but its the programmer that gives it is functionality.  To tell the computer what to do you need to be able to communicate with it.  The way of doing so is by using a programming language.  There are many different programming languages that are all slightly different.  Most programming languages are very similar and if you learn one you can learn almost all the others in a breeze.  So the programming language we will be using in these tutorials is python,  it is one of the least complicated languages available.  We first need to setup our python environment.  If you don't already have python on your computer you need to install it. (unless you are using Linux, on most distributions it comes preinstalled.)  

    To install python you will have to goto http://www.python.org and visit their download page.
 
Here is a guide to install python:


Thats it! You now have python installed on your computer.  In the next tutorial you will learn how to do some basic commands with python. 

If you had any problems with the installation feel free to email me at xzachtmx@gmail.com.
