I wrote a book called Game Programming For Teens when I was 14, that was an international bestseller, sold in over 6 countries. The book was written for teenagers who wanted to learn how to make videogames for the first time. I used a language called Blitz Basic to teach the kids. Why? Because they learned with a very basic language, how to make a cool game that was fun to play. They could even share with friends! But they didn't get bogged down in the intricacies of the syntax of C/C++. I found that the teenagers who've read my book tend to get really inspired by the BASIC language, and that passion carries over to finally finishing the game in C/C++
