      If you want to make online games, you need to use Flash, which is not cheap. But you can download a demo version.

      To make downloadable games, there are several game development programs, which can be free, cheap, or expensive. It depends.
      You can look at this list of game engines and visit the homepages to find out what kind of program would suit your possibilities and needs:

              BeanMan, "commercial use" is connected to selling/offering your games for money. If you just allow players to play them for free, it's no problem

                  You need to upload it to your homepage or to a host, examples here:


                  And then you can post the link in a thread in New Games.
                  However if players have to download a software to be able to play it, you must give a link to that software aswell, and the game won't be added to the game site of GamersHood.

                      Yes, creating a game needs patience and perseverance, I know
                      Good luck on your game

                          To my knowledge you can use note pad to write the script, but you still need a game engine

                              Well, it depends on which game engine you use. It can be Action Script or Visual Basic that you have to use. But there are game engines that don't require (much) knowledge of scripting.
                              Otherwise you have to learn them. There is a lot of help and tutorials available on the web. But it's not that easy, it takes time and patience
