Hello and thanks in advance if you answer this query.

The title speaks for itself. I want to also add:

- I know very little about programming- some C++ and Python

- I ve played a little with modding a few already existing games and could make a few things here and there

- my real talent is writing: stories- dialogs- creating concepts like: what should happen in that situation- what factors are involved there etc.

From what I ve read so far I ve figured that an engine must be created. That means using a programming language and creating it from scratch! Still- I am confused about the term "graphic engine" and the use of 3D graphics? Are they also made from scratch by a person game maker (not a program game maker- explained below)?

I know about already existing game makers- programs that allow you to easily create a game atmosphere. I ve tried a few but I don t like the limitations they bring. I want my own game- using totally my own resources!

I don t want to make a game that looks like those from the 80 s. NO- I think of something like Fable or Gothic or Elder Scrolls. That means a full 3D universe with freedom of movement and interaction- good- solid graphics too. And- yes- I ve already heard the discouraging advice "Oh- boy- forget it- such games are made by hundreds of people- you alone could never..."

I have a couple of friends that could help me. One is an amateur musician- another is an expert drawer. I think that with my writing talent- the programming I could learn and with their help we could even create a good game.

So my question would be: What should I start with? Most programming languages don t deal with making games. Is there a tutorial somewhere for people like me who want to start such a project? Are there similar people with whom I can team experience perhaps? I need some good ABC. How should I find it?

i have 2 ball python a year old with a 30 gallon tank a heating pad and a heat lamp on the left side of the tank the temp is between 82 and basking spot around 90 and on toward the right side of tank is where the log is at so they hide in it but they be there all dayy and that cool spot is around like 60-65 is that alright for them?to stay most the time there?

Which one of these carnivores is truly "top" of the food chain? Or is it the crocodile- since I believe there are some of those in the Everglades- also?
I think an alligator could handle a panther- even on land. How s the panther even going to scratch that hide?
Please so not attempt to answer the question if you have no clue about the subject. There have been countless articles in the press about Burmese pythons in the Everglades.

I know I probably shouldn t handle it- but for how long? When can I feed it? Anything else I should do or know about?
NOTE: He ALREADY SHEDDED... i m looking for information on what I should do AFTER he sheds.

i have a ball python and he weezes there isn t any fluids coming out of his nose or anything but sometimes he will well its a cross between a squeek and a weeze he is very active and eats fine should i worry? is this something that could get worse? he has been this way for about 3 months

my ball python shedded yesterday and he shedded really well and we noticed he has white speckle like patches down his back- he seems healthy and did shed all his skin and has no mites is this normal or could it be the humiditiy.
humidity is 50-60 ....60 when he was shedding.
temperture normally 86 hot end cool end 82 and slighty lower at night-
