Indie.
I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

Re: its official
All you have to do to make an indie is sell a game for profit through digital distribution isn't it?

For flash? Flash. It costs about 600$ (OW)
or you could use Stencyl, but that has an odd interface and limited capabilities. It's free, but IDK if you can use Stencyl games commercially.

Learn it in college. At 12, I doubt you can learn C.
You can't learn it in a day or a week.

No, visual C++ isn't. IDK about other C++ programs, but games are made in C.
