Re: i want to create audio games
Kamocheck, I think before you decide on a programming language or a game engine you might want to ask yourself a number of questions like weather or not you want to learn to write other software besides games, do you have any interest in developing software and games for anything other than Windows, how much money are you willing to spend to invest into your language of choice, etc. In other words there are many other considerations to how easy/difficult a programming language is.
To give you an example BGT was designed to simplify game programming by wrapping a number of Windows technologies such as SAPI, DirectX, the Windows API, etc with a high level scripting language called Angelscript. I'd say if your only interest is games and simplicity BGT is certainly a good place to start. However, if you want to compile your games you will have to spend at least $29 USD for the light version, and more depending on if you want to sell games or include joystick support.
An acceptable alternative would be the Python programming language. It is fairly simple to learn, there are many modules for beginners, works on any modern platform, and is totally free to use. So it has some advantages over BGT you might want to take into consideration here.
In regards to learning to program what the others here have said is all too true. It is not something you can learn over night, and you will have to study many programming tutorials and practice, practice, practice. There is a process all aspiring programmers go through, and they always start out very simple and slowly work there way towards more complex projects. Most tutorials or instructors start out with a simple Hello World program and then various other simple programs to teach the basics such as variables, functions, classes, if statements, while loops, etc. Its only after having written several simple programs can you pull that together to write something very basic like Guess the Number, black ja ck, or a dice rolling game.
