Both of these arguments are incorrect.
On the other hand, I would actually recommend you learn java. It's a really easy way to jump into object oriented programming and game programming. You can find a great written tutorial here: http://docs.oracle.c...avase/tutorial/

Yea, fast prototyping and scripting. Large source files and such start to hurt eyes when you look at large amounts of code. I've heard this from many other programmers

Can you elaborate? Pointers are easy, they just point at data. The difficulty I had was I was overthinking, due to others who try to make them harder than set out to be (Ehem, C++ haters).

I honestly don't know what you mean by "legacy syntax". Seriously, you can use namespaces, classes, templates, etc. If you don't want to use them that's just you, don't try to judge a language by a select few who refuse to use common practices.

Memory management isn't a problem. Allocated memory should never be allocated with "new" and deleted with delete. Use smart pointers. You pass memory allocated with "new" to them and they'll manage your memory. Basically 100 percent foolproof, unless the OS decides to kill your program, and in that case all resources will be taken away anyway (even leaked memory). So it's basically like a GC.

Virus scan WinDefend.exe if you are worried about that file.
And svchost.exe is perfectly normal, why does it make you suspicious?
Call a tech

Just call a tech support and ask them to check your computer. DON'T go deleting things and ending processes. Clearly you don't have a very good idea of what you are doing so please don't make it any worse for yourself by trying to fix it yourself.Quote from Tasty_Toast_Son
I haven't closed either, but I should of cross-referenced that isass.exe. I hear it's 75% of the time infected/fake, or rarely legitimate from extensive Googling.
Safe mode sucks. I hope your poor soul NEVER has to use it.

As for the random closing bracket (at the end of the snippet of code i mentioned), i think it can safely be erased.

JMenu output = newJMenu("Output"); JMenuItem out1 = new JMenuItem(output1 + " is the radius"); JMenuItem out2 = new JMenuItem(output2 + " is the circumference"); output.add(out1); output.add(out2); }Is invalid, as it is outside of any method or contructor.

No no, you got it wrong. He's already in that game, but he's looking for a life sim game so that his RealLife character may have some fun.

To answer you question, yes, kinda. Windows systems are all compatible with DX. DX9 is pretty much a standard by now.
If you have windows 7, you have DX9 (and probably better, too). Unless you have a prehistorical graphic card, the computer will be able use it.
As for the game, i'd like it if there was more to do than hunt for loots. There's quite a bit to work on.

Yes, you can practically copy-paste XNA code to monogame's. Except you can't do XBLA games, obviously.
Also, since you asked earlier, knowing some math in game-making is very much important. Check the answer of this thread. For a start.
Of course, doing a simple / small game doesn't nearly require as much of math. But you may very well run into situations where some math formula would save you time and a mess of code.
Fortunately, you're not alone -- Often than not, googling your problems can net you a fair few pages of solutions.

Indeed. Unless you're making a zombie game and want the 'zombie' part to be literal. Heh.
