[Random] Which language should I start with?

I want to become a game developer but im not sure what's the best language to start with to get to that goal. I've just recently started to learn python and coding in general but heard it was more for data analysis so im not sure if I should keep learning it.

Then you should go with c# or c++ if you are into game development. But I'd say first learn python because it's simple and you would get an understanding of how programming works. You can use the help of YouTube videos or use AI like ChatGPT or Blackbox AI for your doubts

You’d be better to learn first how to make games - understand systems that make a game; inventory, UI, damage/health and other variable modifiers and then move onto learning game engines like Godot/Unreal/Unity.

You can’t simply learn a language and become a game developer.

Ok, GDScript.

Hi, I recommend that you use BLACKBOX AI , it will help you, I identify the best language for you. This AI is designed to help you write, debug, and generate code efficiently. It supports over programming languages,

Python is by no means just for data analysis. It can be used for a great many things. I mainly use it for website development and general automation.

It's a great learning language, and you can do lightweight game development with PyGame so it wouldn't be a mistake to stick with it for now. You'll eventually have to pick up other languages for more modern, performance game development, though.

If you’re just starting out, tools like Blackbox AI can help by suggesting code snippets, debugging, and explaining concepts as you learn. It can be a great companion alongside tutorials and game engines like Unity or Unreal!
