oh boy

holy fuck, how about no? /facepalm



I recommend Java, Python and C++

Java and Python are perfect entry-level languages to make games.
Blizzard games are made in C++, and you'll need ALOT of time to make a good game in C++, so it's not the firsthand recommendation to a hobby programmer. So, pick the two others, learn one first atleast, then maybe go over to C++, if you still have the motivation and determination.

if you said you had lots of fun with pong, pacman, and space invaders, then there's hope for ya.

Well with things like the XNA framework w/ C# makes creating games a lot easier than it was years ago with C++ (in my opinion) even so it still requires you to learn the language (you will have to do this in any route anyway)

I started with C then moved onto C++ and then about 3 years ago I moved onto C#.
