Learning programming

So I been trying to learn programming recently, and would like the input of some people who know what they're doing.

In regards to video game programming (which is what i'm doing) what programming language would you say is the most versatile? the most prevalent?

Also wondering, do hacks have to be written in the same programming language? or can they coded in a different language?
whats the injector actually do?

and finally, would any of you happen to know any good tutorials, or forums that can help beginning programmers?

Check out the coding section of the forums. The best language for haxs would be C++ in my opinion.

Yeah i've been researching just a little on this subject, creating a script for something like a customized bot seems to be pretty easy using a high lvl language like Autoit.

However i'm a little lost, when it comes to creating something more low lvl using C/C++. Even if you know the language exactly where do you start learning? All i've read is that Vindictus is a client based p2p game and shouldn't too difficult to hack if you learn the free SDK tools from the HL2 source engine.

An idea of the steps to get there would help, and what tools you need. ie: HL2 SDK, Visual C#, modules, libraries, diasssembly program, debugger etc..

Hacks and games can be written in a slew of languages, it just depends on what functions you want as to what language you use, obviously c++ is of the most versatile, while c#, c, visual basic, and others are the less advanced.
C++ is the most common language for most games like vindictus, but there are games that are (obviously) even written in flash (worlds hardest game) or java (Minecraft.)
It really depends on what you're trying to do.
A hack for minecraft COULD be written in C++ (Although I haven't seen any for what reasons I'm unaware) but there are also ones that simplly "plugin" to the client, and use hotkeys to perform functions that are / not already in the game.
If you truly want to learn c++ look at books such as Beginners guide to Gaming C++, or other introductory books.
Albeit C++ is an incredibly advanced language in terms of what it can do, it's still a program, and as such has to be done in a certain way, which doesn't require that much of an advanced knowledge even from the start. The most common practice in any beginners C++ guide is the "hello world" console that utilizes the cout function.
I would say to start with gaming C++ if it's gaming that you're going to focus on, then once you have that down (take your time, this isn't something you can learn in a month.) then move on to the less necessary functions that you won't use as often when working with gaming.
Good luck, and yes, definitely hit up the programming section, you'll find a lot of information there, and other places such as cplusplus.com/

Im taking computer science class at school learning DarkBASIC rofl. Easy atm but i hope it gets harder.
