Is C++ better than Game Maker? And is it free?

start with simple console programs like this one here:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    cout << "Hello World"; endl;
    return 0;
}

then work your way up and use a graphics API like Allegro (It's the easiest one that i know) get a team started up also so you are not taking the brunt of the work your self.

It depends what you're looking for.

GM is as good as you would probably want when you are just starting. C++ can take years to learn. If you want to do anything REALLY advanced  (you can even make 3d online games in GM), use C++. C++ is better if you know it, but it can be hard to learn (from what I've heard, I want to learn it after I get better at GM) I also think C++ can be used in GM.

I've made two games with Game MAker. They are very basic, like clicking the little red ball. But i don't understand how to make a game like a Zelda game. I really want to make this really simple Zelda game  had an idea for. Can someone help me learn how to use Game Maker to its full potential? ;D
