Know any easy programming languages or platforms?
Hi guys. I've been interested in gaming and wanna be able to make my own games, especially visual novels. So do you guys know of any easy to learn, remember, and use programming languages or platforms? If so please link to sites about them. Thanks so much and God bless!

If you have a TI graphing calculator, learning TI Basic could be a good way to get started, and it's what I'm learning right now.
Here's a link to a website that can teach you TI Basic: http://tibasicdev.wikidot.com/
But I don't really know what I'm talking about. There are other members who could give a much better answer.

My answer: No

If you want to write visual novels, look at ONScripter: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ONScripter

My college uses Python as an introductory language - it's very English-like, but it's relatively powerful; it teaches the basics of variables and passing things between functions, which you'll be having to do with pretty much all other languages.
Java is a great second language. It builds on Python, but is related to the C/C++ class of languages, which are what lots of programmers use in professional applications.
Game Maker isn't too bad for learning things, if you're looking for a really fast start and something super-intuitive - it does most of the work concerning graphics, object triggers and variables for you, and people have made some great games with it (Iji, Runman: Race Around the World and Hydorah, for starters).

If you're looking to learn game programming in general, Game Maker is great and I recommend it highly. It's more made for action games though, rather than visual novels. Also it only makes games for Windows.

I use Java for making games, though I do recommend trying to learn the basics of a language first before jumping right into things. Do you have any experience with programming?
lol. There's a python module for everything... Except one optimized for solving advanced quantum mechanics problems.
