@Burglered
I wanna make 2D and 3D platformers.
I heard C++ and C# is good for both, but python + pygame is good for 2D. |

If your target is computers, the most popular are C++ and Java. I use Java, but that is just personal preference as I don't like C++'s messy code.
On a side note, people are starting to use C# more and more. I like C#, but I its a bit messier than I like. I would have to get more used to it too. (more familiar with the libraries) |

You probably don't want to program a language from scratch, consider using a framework such as Phaser, Cocos-x or libgdx.

| Eurgh, don't use Java, look at the difference in Minecraft, Windows 10 Edition, and regular. Win10E is written in C++. Sooo much faster. |

| Use Unity 3d engine. Use C#. Most games use it. |

You did not master Lua. If you did, you'd spell it correctly. Lua is not an acronym.
People who say "LUA" deserve to be thrown into the dungeon and be tortured for life. |

We first need some background information.
C++ is something, that will help you "long" term. In the future, if you decide to get hired, companies tend to go for people who have knowledge of C++.
I would (and am) choose C++. There are 2 mainstream game engines, CryENGINE and Unreal Engine 4, which use C++, and CryENGINE also uses Lua. And I guess you already have some knowledge on that.

@power
As I am 12 years of age (no way can you believe it), would it be easier to learn C#, and then learn C++? |

| It would probably be easier to learn Lua first. |
