To be honest, no one is going to sit down and teach you unless you pay them. There are better options such as buying a book and learning it off that, and it also goes at your speed. I would invest in a good programming book such as this one [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] .

Don't suggest you start of with a simple game YET. Games are actually quite difficult to develop when you never programmed before. I would start off with the basics, so: Variables, Types, Classes, OOP, etc...

Then once you think you are ready then I will look up a tutorial for a simple maze game. Then you can work your way up to games like PACMAN, etc...

You can also get good practice by developing MODS for games (like Fallout for example).

I got into programming searching for online games and the website I found actually has it's own programming language named Dream Maker. The website is

Byond.com. I recommend that since it's similar to and a mix of JavaScript, c++ due to being made in c++, C#. It's also similar to Python as well in my opinion and others I know have also noticed that.

Due to learning DM(isn't hard to learn if you actually try instead of being lazy) it helped me learn Python quite easily due to the syntax not being that much off from each other. If you learn DM you will definitely learn C# without an issue as well as catch on to other languages as well.


But as your first language I'd suggest learning Python or Java. I wouldn't suggest going straight into c++ as I tried the same back then and failed. It's best to know another language or languages before trying to dab into c++. I doubt you'd understand the OOP doing So.
