Hey Kid, If you really want to be making the best games in the world. Go to Full Sail University. They have the best education for the Gaming Industry. You can focus your education on either "Game Art" or "Game Developement". And you can further your education in "Game Design". [url=http://www.fullsail.edu/]
Full sail is not a true university and your credits will not carry over to REAL schools. Community college credits are probably worth more than the ones at full sail.
There's going to be a 90% chance you're going to not finish a game you started if you're just a beginniner. Maybe you will run into a problem you can't solve, suddenly think the game concept is stupid, or just get bored. You have to get into the mindset that programming is a hobby rather than a job with a deadline.
Kid, I'm only 13, and I'm just getting in to programming. It is NOT something you want to dive right into. I started with PIVOT movies, then went over to Flash to make Flash movies. Then I had to make a menu screen for my collab, which led to quiz games, which led to a collecting game I'm working on. Game Maker would work fine for you right now, because you're still young and Flash will probably frustrate you (it crashes a lot, to add to the difficulty of scripting).
