How to Make Games in Notepad
Games are a compilation of coding. What a player sees on the screen is actually a complex string of code. Games can be written in a number of programming languages such as JavaScript, C#, and C++. Each programmer has a preferred language for game creation. But the programming language isn't necessarily written in a complex software program, it can be written in a simple word processing suite like Notepad.

Also don't forget that you can make some (VERY) simple games with batch files, just type the batch code into notepad, press save as, switch from text files (.txt) to all files(.) and type.bat in the post script (the aaa part of "myfile.aaa"). once you save it you will be able to open the game and play it in the command promtp. :)
