Any good FREE game makers?

game maker
start with drag and drop, then find tutorials on GML (game maker language). once you have GML mastered, move on to the bigger stuff like C++.

there's no need to take the hard way out if you don't need to, honestly.
once he wants EVERYTHING to be 100% custom then C++ would be a good option, but if there's already a simplified form of game creation available that will fit his needs then he can go ahead and keep using that.
it would depend on preference too but i doubt he wants to make a game quite literally from below the ground up.

Really, once you get going with C++ and DirectX or OpenGL, you won't want to stop. Seriously look into it.

The issue is finding a good place to learn how to do it.

C++ is obviously not the best place to start.
