     Have to wonder, was this the nature of your question or are you asking which programming tools are available in Ubuntu (or Linux)?

How to create programs to do tasks. I would like to eventually like to create a game for Ubuntu that is online.

    So you will eventually need the first two links provided by pabiltofurerte above (hope i typed that right); are you then working in C/C++ and using GCC to compile? (I would guess so.) I would also look at Qt and Gtk (for GUI's and such), and possibly SDL libraries (often used for games).

Okay so then I will have to learn what C/C++ is and Gcc is. Then I shouldn't have much difficulty getting a game made. If I have more questions about it, I will just reopen this question.
