Best Language for Game Programming?

Name: Anonymous 2008-08-27 2:32

Sup.

I'm a total newb at programming, but I want to learn how to make my own games and stuff. Maybe aplications too.

What programming language and/or software should I use?
What should I learn first?

Inb4 be patient. I know it takes time to learn this stuff.

Thanks guys, I hope you can help me.

You mean truly non-graphical games, or just non-pixel-or-vector-based graphical games?

If it's the former, a text-based adventure game which models a world made of cells which contain a textual description and hold objects which you can interact with (describe, get, put, use) would be a good exercise.

If it's the later, and you just don't want to deal with modern graphics but character-based graphics will do, write a Roguelike game. Google for many good ones as examples.
