Go to a library and check out programming books. Even if they are in basic they will help you.

Thats a really good start! You can definatly buy books that work together with video gaming programs, programs such as Houdini, and Maya. Houdini uses Python and Maya uses its own programing language called MEL ( Maya Embeded Language)
You can also download an excellent program, built for programing games, its called blender. You download it for free and use it for free, i am not sure what the programing language for that package is, but you can ask. When you find out you can get tutorials on the language, or buy books about it, and incorporate what you learn with the program.
You can download blender from www.blender3d.com
GOOD LUCK!
PS- if you want to download free trial versions of the other two professional programs than here are the websites
Maya- www.alias.com ( i think that leads you to a new site)
Houdini- www.sidefx.com
PS(2)- Dont listen to the guy who gave you the first answer, I guess he is just a dumb *** than couldnt really get any languages, you seem a lot smarter than he is, so go learn and have fun!

You're too young. Trust me. I was interested in C++, Visual Basics, and other crap, when I was 10. Spent weeks looking for tutorials and stuff on the net. Big waste of time. Didn't understand a THING. You have to take classes like in highschool or something to actually be able to program. HTML can be learned by an 8 year old, it's nothing like video game programming languages (C++ is mainly used for video games). For now, just play games, so in the future, you'll know how to program a very good game. Also, at your age, review other games, it's a good experience.

nicely what you're describing is being a programmer and to be a sturdy programmer, you are going to could take particular training. Being self taught is going to make it plenty greater sturdy for you and rather, you may desire to no longer get to be as sturdy as in case you're taking the mandatory training (that's some thing agencies look at while hiring programmers). yet once you easily need to do it on your individual, the 1st step in gaining information of a thank you to software is gaining information of Python. it rather is an common programming language and you will learn that throughout the time of your individual. After which you will pass directly to gaining information of OOP(merchandise oriented programming) like Java and C/C++, yet those programming languages require a terrific quantity of self-discipline. i'm no longer able to stress it adequate how plenty college training will strengthen your skills and a great deal strengthen your opportunities of being employed via a prestigious interest business enterprise. in case you could learn those classes on your individual, via the time you're a sturdy programmer, each and every thing will fall into place and you'd be engaged on "Unreal adventure: digital actuality"... or some thing like that.

Too YOUNG !!! its true. you have to have the basic. Creating games is a combination of math, science and even art. Stay in school study hard, play hard, when you get older, get yourself a relevant degree. And you can create video games, and get paid.
