Hello everyone.
I wanna learn some gaming-related programming. I mean how to create games. I think c++ is the best for it, but it's a little hard for a beginner. I was learning some Python long time ago, don't remember it now, but i have experience. Now i'm learning Pascal at school, don't like it much. Pointless thing now, when lots of languages available. So, i need someone to teach me a little, or just give some advices or something like that. Where to start for example. Thanks.

Since you're learning Pascal, you may want to look at Lazarus. It uses Object-Pascal as its language and can do game development.

Well, i heard Pascal only damages real programmers ability to learn other languages later, because it's pointless, so i'm not sure about that.

Pascal has pointers. I started coding in Pascal and QBasic. I do development at work in Delphi, which is also based on ObjectPascal.

All that said, the Pascal family doesn't have a strong following in the programming community, but it works fine to learn programming.

I don't feel i like Pascal much. It's too old and unuseful language in my opinion...
