I once managed to make a square that moved in Python.

 

That's as far as my dream as gaming developer got.

WOOT! WOOT!  

SUPPORT YOUR DREAM!  OR something....


I lack the skills for doing these kind of things. I might study two years to get some kind of experience, though.

That's why I'm hyped for Project Sparks. Feels so accesible...



What would you guys recommend for a first programming language?

While I personally don't like Java at all, is easy to use and understand. So I say start with Java.

Just a thing, NEVER use Java for Web development, is one of the worst things ever created, but desktop or mobile softwares are fine.

What is it about Python that makes it suitable for beginners?

SAYS YOU!  Just have to put the effort into doing it, if it is something you really want to do.

Don't start with C++. It seems easy but gets quite complicated with lots of code.

I made a 2D game/engine fairly easily in 2011. I'm doing the same in 3D right now, its taken MUCH longer however.

I never talk about code even though I build things from scatch. I basically translate everything I need from OpenGL 3 in C++ to java. Stupidly easy cross platform tech.



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine
