@Sharky6, I couldn't agree more! I started very young myself. But that was when Doom 1 just came out and the internet didn't have that many websites about programming yet. I can only imagine the excitement of all the possibilities of starting that young with todays languages and resources! :]

@Raj, imo starting to learn the concepts of programming at his age could only help him in terms of learning to speak english better, logical thinking, problem solving, etc... I'm not suggesting he quit school or focus on programming full time. But it could be a good thing to learn on his free time if it interests him. Im not sure what bearst does in his free time but for me personally coding is a good replacement for all the video games I used to waste my time on! Just my opinion =D

I suggest learning C# or JavaScript and go to use Unity, it's pretty much the best on the market and the personal version is free, and they allow you to release your games and even make up to $10,000 dollars a year on a game. Though, before taking that on, make sure you have some people who can do 3D modeling and animation, it'll​ make the game come together quicker and smoother.

C# it is mostly used to program games using Unity Engine. Alternatively you can learn Java to use free engine Unreal. Unity is paid for premium version.

Sololearn provide C# course for basic knowledge. But you needs to be expert and also you should know graphic designing , sound designing and Unity API and Physics also and UI.

By the way you can try GameMaker Language on GameMaker Desktop app on Windows its paid and 2D it is good for you to start from, also its doesn't require much graphics knowledge. You can surely learn this easily. For tutorial go for YouTube.

@Vishal Prajapati I agree, But assuming he doesn't know html and JS he will have to learn them (probably alone) and for that he needs English, which I assume he also don't have. But JS games sounds best for him and worth learning IMO.

#Sharky6, basically many Programming Language is based on English and he doesn't know that as he doesn't belong to country whose main language is English. So he could first learn English from school then engage in Programming.
