What is the main programming language for video games?

Id like to learn programming and I want to program games..


The BIG problem is that 1.I don't know how to program stuff.


2.I don't know what program to use to start programming





note:I'm 13yrs old so I might have trouble programming.What is the main programming language for video games?
You won't have trouble, I guarantee. Age is irrelevant to programming (I started programming at 13) and if I had known about it earlier, I would like to start even earlier.





There is no such thing as ';main programming'; language in video games. Many games uses C-family language, but the C-family is relatively difficult for beginners. I recommend either python or Visual Basic:

- http://www.microsoft.com/Express/VB/





Google for tutorials on programming (for beginners usually you'd want tutorial on the specific language you have chosen, later on you can read about more abstract concepts that are independent of languages). There are hundreds of thousands of free resources for learning programming in the internet, it is often unnecessary to buy books or find teachers.
