So I have always wanted to code. With that being said I never got attempted to get into it, I always seen like a line of code and said "Wow that looks really hard to do." Lately I have been wanting to really try to get into coding. I researched it a bit but every time I look into it I feel like it gets more and more complex. So I'm just going to flat out ask. What programs should I use to code? Is coding things like hacks for games hard? I would like to see if I can code a little something for rust. That might be really hard for someone with no experience to do but I am determined to figure it out. So any information that could help me out and get me going would be great. Thanks a lot for your time reading this and I hope you consider posting something I can use!

Also coding things for other games like mods not hacks just to add like cars or something into ArmA II For example. What would be something good to use for that?
