I'm 13 and really eager to start coding, especially to eventually create games. I've dabbled in Python, but I'm looking for something a bit more challenging. I've tried learncpp and I'm up to about chapter 4, but I'm also contemplating if I should switch to learning C or another language. What languages would you recommend that would be great for game development?

I'd suggest sticking with Python for now. Although it's easy, it's excellent for grasping fundamental programming concepts before moving to something tougher. If you're ready to take on a challenge, consider Java or C#. Both are widely used and a bit more complex than Python.
If you’re focused on game development, go for C++ if you're interested in using Unreal Engine, or C# if you want to work with Unity. C++ is a bit tricky but it's the standard for many high-performance games, while C# is more accessible for beginners in game dev.
Learning C# is definitely a solid move for making games, especially since you can utilize Unity or Godot frameworks, which simplify a lot of the development process. It’s a great way to start creating games without getting bogged down in too much complexity right away.
Yeah, Unity is super user-friendly, and C# makes it really fun to create games. I started out that way too!
