My current favorite game making platform
Love2d (LÖVE) is absolutely awesome......it's Lua so, it's "write once use anywhere" (PC/Mac/Linux). I don't have any screen shots / videos of my current project....but when i do...I'll post them. Nothing special just a top down shooter. With Zombies and splattering blood/gore.
One warning here....with a name like LÖVE, the project just kind of invites some smart-ass stuff.....*some* of the libraries may not have exactly 100% politically correct names....and *could* be considered offensive (or at least "in bad taste")....but...if you can look past that (or just ignore it) it's a great framework, with a very small (starting) learning curve. Once you dig into it a bit and see what some people are doing with Lua / LÖVE , you will be amazed.
Remember.....it's all tables. All the tables are just a table of tables...until you get to the turtles.
