I want to start creating video games, but I don’t know any programming at all. I bought a book that teaches c# but does not teach the basics of programming. Where and how can I learn the basics of programming?

im a sophmore in high school and i really want to have a career in video games, preferably video game programming, and i hear that it requires a good understanding of math like calc. i was just wondering if there was anything who could enlighten me about the math thing. also how do begin programming games ,like what programs can i use? any information would be greatly helpful.

Explain what you truly think the role of C++ Programming language plays in the developement in state of the art video games.

Right now I’ve been learning C++, but if there is a programming language that is more used to make video games, I would rather learn that.

What books and/or programs do I need to get a very basic introduction to programming? It seems most books out there on programming assume that you have some prior knowledge, and I do not.

I already have a college degree in something else but I think programming would be interesting and more lucrative. I plan on taking classes at a community college to see if I like it and then go from there.
Heres the whole story. I studied music in college and just got a job composing music for video games. It would help if I knew a little coding because I’ll also be doing sound design and sound effects and will be responsible for the implementation. I was told it would help to know a little c++ but everything on c++ assumes you know something already and I don’t. They have told me they will train me on the implementation but I want to learn a bit first. I’ve got months before I start the job.

Right now I’ve been learning C++, but if there is a programming language that is more used to make video games, I would rather learn that.

What exactly can you do with the education of a Computer Programmer? Also, could you do anything associated with video games? If you could please make a list of every possible thing you can do if you a properly educated Computer Programmer. Thank you.

I just turned 18, I’m working to become a programmer for video games but would like to start off smooth by making a flash game. At the moment I don’t know any programming languages but am willing to put my full effort to learn a few, but wanted to know the best ones to learn for flash games. I start college soon (Freshmen year of general studies) but would like to get a head start on my knowledge.

Thanks for the help!
