For games, you would either need to be familiar with Flash if you wanted it to be available on the web, or for the desktop, typically C++ .

While playing games is easy, creating them is actually reasonably challenging.

I have just completed a degree in Computer Science Games Technology and I can tell you making a game from scratch is a big thing, especially for someone that has no previous coding experience.

I advise you to buy some books and learn the basic programming principles as these can be applied to most languages. As was already mentioned if you want to create web based games then Flash is the way forward. Probably your best bet is to start with a Tile Based game as they are much simpler to construct and easier to understand for someone that is new to games programming. Things such as collision detection are much more achievable in 2D. You will find some guides on the internet to get your feet wet, and then modify the code (provided the original author states that you are allowed to do this).

For offline content then you should look into C++ and OpenGL which will offer you the ability to create advanced game content. However, this would be jumping in at the deep end to say the least.

Happy coding

TK
