    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 ass than couldnt really get any languages, you seem a lot smarter than he is, so go learn and have fun!

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

    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.

    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.
