Free Game Design Tools, just in time for Christmas, part 1/5

With the new Nokia phone, free tools and lots of time on your hands (you do have lots of time on your hands?) you might want to build some fun games for your friends, family and even people who you don’t know, but might want to pay a dollar for the joy of sharing Christmas with your.  If you live in a world with no Christmas, then think of another holiday or birthday.

First of all, to make this work you will need a Windows 7 based machine (or Vista or XP) that when you run dxdiag, on the display tab (if you only have one hooked up then you will only see one display tab). Your driver model needs to be WDDM 1.1, not WDDM 1.0.

In the next blog we will talk about installing the free tools.
