So I was wondering what are some good frameworks that I could use to start developing video games.

I have heard of blender. I personally use a mac, so I am hoping to create something that can be played on mac and pc.

I know nothing about game development, but I do know how to program. I just want some programs, that well help me start learning.

According to the FAQ, questions about which technology to use are off-topic. See this meta-discussion. That being said, have a look at Unity3D. – bummzack Jul 23 '12 at 7:05

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, see the FAQ.

It depends on what you want to want to get out of it.

Do you want to build a game for a specific platform? Android, iOS, WP7 or HTML5? That will dictate what software options you have. eclipse, XCode, Visual Studio etc.

Want to build a 2D or 3D game? Cocos2D/Kobold2D, XNA are some good examples.

Just want to learn game design? There are some great books for this, my favourite was Level Up but there's a question on it here.

If you can rework your question to be more specific, we can help you out more specifically.
