Should i just start using c++ or start from something like visual basic or python and learn from there?

I should say that you should start programming games for the pc. Then, if you think that you've got the basics down, you can move to consoles. When you start programming for consoles, I would suggest programming for the Game Boy. You'll learn alot from this. Best way is to practice what you've learned. You can start with whatever you want as long it doesn't make you crazy :-D. Start with C++ if you want, but if you find it hard then move to an easier language. All you need is the desire to learn. If you have that then you've got no problem.

You can start to make windows game by Using MS visual C++ and MS DirectX. The best language to start both console and windows is C language, then C++.
