    When I was a kid I made games with my friends using a program called qbasic. You won't be able to do anything really fancy, old mario style games after you get used to it, but you learn a lot about math early on and it was easy enough for my friends and I to do without reading a book. Here is a link to the program (even though I haven't downloaded it to make sure it's the actual program but I'm sure it is)
