a side scroller is pretty simple as far as the programming goes, personally I would use Embedded Visual C++ 3.0 or 4.0 free from Microsoft.. you could also use dot net, but I avoid it.. im not a fan of the framework.

The hard part is the grahics, story line.. etc...

Your best bet on the PocketPC is PPL - Pocket Programming Language. It is simple and fast. The GameAPI is very sophisticated and super easy to use. It even has a 2D physic engine.

For 2D side-scroller is has layers with automatic scrolling and a particle engine.

I don't have any programming experience...that's the problem :P. And no time to learn either. Thanks though!

You have to know programming to write games. Even with this tool you will need to know a lot about programming games if you want your game to do anything good. Games are the hardest thing to write. However this tool looks like it will do most of the work don't expect to write R-Type with it without coding though. ;)
