I have very limited background in programming. I quite want to develop the game myself, or with only minimal help. Is there one language that is better than others for game development, or is more versatile?

    Building a game from scratch sounds nice on paper, but if you are also trying to learn programming I’d suggest smaller steps.

    Start by looking at some really simple games (think Tron, or snake) and figure out how they work, adapt them, break the code, fix the code, change the rules of the game and make it work differently…

    Once you are confident changing code then try writing stuff…
    Much as I’d love to recommend a language from 20 years ago (e.g. Pascal) realistically you want to be looking at something like Python as an entry language these days.
