    I too am a student learning programming - but I'm not at University yet, and am not certain about what I'm about to say - so be aware of that.

    I was told that C# (my preferred programming language) isn't really used for creating games - it is capable of creating them, but it's not what they use. They use C - probably because it's a low-level language and professionals can program better, or make applications with better performance and reliability. C++ is probably good also - but from what I'm told C is usually used.

    The games you create will need to use DirectX or OpenGL - so you will need to learn how to include those in your projects also.


    I'm sorry I can't really help - but hopefully you have found some information useful.
    Good luck with your studies =]

    If not mistaken, Starcraft 2 is programmed with C, so I guess you are right

    If your thinking 3D games you'll also need to be ~love~ hot at maths, vectors etc. C++ is what most games are made in nowadays.

    If you were looking to make a game engine if you wanted a start i would look at the rendering engine called OGRE (

    Code:
    http://www.ogre3d.org/

    ) If your looking to get started and just make the top level stuff you can use CrystalSpace (

    Code:
    http://crystalspace3d.org/main/Main_Page

    ) and the Blender2Crystal (

    Code:
    http://b2cs.delcorp.org/index.php/Main_Page

    ) plugin to blender to make the games in Blender (

    Code:
    http://www.blender.org/

    ) Blender also has its own built in game engine.
