Hi F200,
I was wondering if you could display a game for me. Could it please have some pretty graphics and a few sound effects. Maybe a bit of music would be nice too.
Many thanks.

Oh, I thought english must be some odd language like groovy or shakespeare or something.

If you want to develop in English, you may wish to check out Inform 7 at http://www.inform-fiction.org/
Playing text adventures on the gp2x may be tad bit difficult without a keyboard though..

Well, being serious for a second -
I'm presuming that your knowledge of programming is limited/next to nothing if you didn't understand the "Language" question, so...
A very good place to start would be with a language like GLBasic, which you run on your pc, which can make your code into a game that will run on pc, GP2X, mac, Linux or pocket pc with the click of a mouse.
This package allows you to quickly and easily create homebrew games, without going into the nitty gritty of C++, SDL or other more complex programming languages.
It uses a BASIC style language syntax to allow you to get your ideas up and running as games very quickly.
For more info visit http://www.glbasic.com/main.php?lang=en and visit the forums at http://www.glbasic.com/forum/index.php
There is a free unlimited time demo available (games will only play for five minutes at a time though) so you can see what it offers.
There is always help at hand and questions are answered very quickly. Lookout for PeeJay's excellent beginner tutorial - if you follow this, you'll be up and running in no time.

I am having good luck learning Python. At least, I am sticking with it longer than with my previous attempts at C.
But you have to be prepared to spend some time learn the basics of the language before you start incorporating pygame (which is what you need to draw to the gp2x screen).
Check this out. http://openbookproject.net//thinkCSpy/
Bear in mind that using python on gp2x limits you a little. But it's good to start with because you can get right down to coding whereas with C you have to set up a toolchain first. Plus, the interpreter allows you to experiment with the syntax on the side while you write your program.
