I am new to programming and visit this site frequently for info and while each article and tutorial helps, I would like to see an article that very simply displays the tools someone uses to make a game, what they use (i.e. DirectX, OpenGL) and start out witht the very first program you write. Then code examples for other things like map design and keyboards input. All this in one tutorial is alot but think of it as some master tutorial not just covering one thing. i know this is kinda vague but if anyone were to pull it off they would be the hero of amateur game developers everywhere.
