You can create games at home in any language. You could create games in flash/actionscript, java/applets, C++, C, etc.

Don't start out trying to make games, because it is very difficult learn a langauge first, program some other things and then mabey look at programming a game.

I kinda agree here, I was learning C++ so I could program a game but it ended up I programed like 200 mini programs before I acutaly even understood the complexity of game program.

Exactly, start small with basic programs. Programming a game takes a good grasp of a language, so work your way up. When you think you are ready for a game, which should at least a few months to a year or so if learning C++, start with something easy that doesn't require too much work. Then, get more complicated and just keep going from there.

Good luck.
