1. C++
2. Javascript
3. C#

If C++, can I be pointed to a compiler? I cannot find a working free one.

Well, if you're a beginner I would suggest, HTML and JavaScript.

I'd actually recommend Java. Personally, I love Java to bits. Plus, I haven't been able to find a (free) C++ compiler either. And I don't want to blow $200 on one.

C++

Download code::blocks or Visual Studio(what I have for C)

P.S - Next time, do your research, noob

I can learn and use C# and Javascript on Unity3D, the game design program. So since Javascript as far as I can doesn't seem too hard to understand (but require time) I think I will start with it, then do another language.

I personally like Java better. If you dive into Android programming, you could get some cash on the side as well.

I tried Visual Studios, it requires a purchase code or whatever that I do not have, and I can't find the download link for code::blocks, I done my research.

Visual Studios should be free. VB 2012 was free for me, anyway.

You did not do your research enough because I have Visual Studio and it's for free. Also I found the site for code::blocks.

"Visual Studios should be free. VB 2012 was free for me, anyway. "

Learning Javscript for now, then I'll do maybe C++, but this won't be until like a year of learning Javscript or until I get the hang of it.

I learned JavaScript.
Was one of the biggest coding mistakes I've ever made.

Unless you want to go into web design, don't choose JavaScript.

Isn't Javascript used for UI's?

Well, honestly, what is the purpose of both of them, what are they used for?

And, I am trying to learn the languages I need for game design, so I can practice before trying a college for it.

The only languages you learn in college are Java and C, and possibly some C++.

Is there a game editor or something where I can use Java? If there is, then I have no reason to pick up on Javascript, and I was told Java is used to mod MC, so it would be nice to try it out on that somehow.

Eclipse has been mentioned in this thread.
NetBeans exists, too, but I personally don't like it.

Eclipse if your best bet. It may be a bit confusing at first, but it gets real easy real fast.

Javascript is the best way to start out if you are learning something.
It's very useful and goes with html and sometimes php, depending on the scripter.
