Basic programming

hey, i have an interest in programming for games etc. but i don't  have a clue where to start, what programs i need, or the languages cause i know there are loads. It would be appreciated if you could  help me in anyway.

Thanks

In before The Book.

In before a toy language faggot gives a noob who will never learn to program anyway some completely useless advice.

In before SCIP,My other car, Tuna Fish, LISP fags, JAVA fags, complete n00bs, FUQIN PROGRAMMER, and other various memes.

That is quite funny, because I invented all of these.

Lol.

Start from the bottom up. HTML is good to start, then go to XML, PHP, SQL, ActionScript, Python, Java, and C.

Then, you'll have learned all the programming languages you need to code games and such.

Saged, though, for lack of bothering to look this damned subject up yourself. =(

Fuck yeah. By the way, since you seem to be an expert on the subject, can you tell me if Half-Life 2 uses Oracle or MySQL?

>>7
Lol @ this post.

>>7
MySQL of course!

SQlite of course. Because lite means it's better.

HTML? HTML isn't a programming language! Prove it's Turing complete. Write a brainfuck interpreter in it (without using Javascript).

He didn't say it was a programming language. OP just asked where to start, not what programming language to start with, and I wouldn't necessarily disagree.

Game Maker
   For non-programmers. But has some slick looking demos.

failed attempt at granting "Tuna Fish" meme status

>>14
The punchline of that joke is actually ``but you can't tunefs.'' No wonder it's not a meme

>>15
Actually, it's "but you can't tune a fish". You can check the tunefs man page for yourself if you like. It refers to both tunefs and tuna fish, which is what makes it moderately funny in the first place, and what makes the "tuna fish" corruption of the meme failsockets.

It doesn't matter anymore; it's been permanently removed by humurless management droids.

Here is a clue. http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/full-text/book/book.html

No it isn't:

%man tunefs | grep fish
     You can tune a file system, but you cannot tune a fish.

LOL SEMANTICS.

$ man tunefs
No manual entry for tunefs

WHAT NOW?

Forget it. It's the shittiest job ever. In a large part that is so because of silly people like you. For some reason every 16y old boy wants to be a game dev when he grows up and of course a lot of them try to do that, ignoring the fact that there's absolutely no job opportunities and even those few that sometimes open up require you to work insane hours for very shitty pay.
 
How the hell did you people even come up with this idea? You haven't even write a simple console application, have you? So why do you think this is a job for you? Just because games are fun? By the same logic maybe you should become a gynecologist?

Install FreeBSD.

Even then you could   help me in   unreadable perl 49.
