I'm looking to start out with small games that I could maybe end up publishing to the Play Store/App Store. I would REALLY appreciate any suggested starting points with reading materials, different software to try, anything!

I took a short Computer Programming class my senior year of high school, but it didn't focus on much, and it was only one semester. We first covered a bit of HTML, then Kudo, Alice, and lastly, and very briefly, JavaScript.

Check out Game Maker or Construct 2 if you want to get into game making right away. No programming is required, only some logic.

There's another thread with lots of books on general game design, but I have no idea where it went... browse around!
