I've just started getting into coding and I'm not sure as to which language to learn. I want to mainly program game so I was thinking c++ or c sharp. If you could help me out that would be great.
What language should I learn?

You could learn how to use the search function of a forum page.
Or learn how to google

Python is a great language to learn, because more and more people are using it. Python is used a lot for AI and is pretty simple to understand. The main goal of Python is readability, which is great for beginners as it resembles english more than some other languages.

Would also recommend Python as it's a fairly productive and easy to understand language.
There are a lot of helpfull tutorials out there for beginners as well!

Since you want to program for video games, i recommend learning C#, there's a very powerful game engine called Unity, which uses C# mainly (I really recommend it, i'm studying Video Game Development in University and we use it there)

If you want to learn general concept start with Python, moving on to the C languages I would definitely start with C# then move onto C++ once you have learnt C#

Ditto. I did Python -> Java -> C. I think OP honestly that's the best route for you to go. Python is a very beginner friendly language with some OOP (Object-Oriented Programming) elements. Java is all OOP and a step above Python in difficulty but there's enough books and tutorials for you not to get lost. Then C gives you a good test to your programming skills because you have to do things like memory management that most other languages do for you
Jumping to C# or C++ is a recipe for disaster.
