Hi, I'm currently following a set of tutorials by the wonderful YouTuber, and all round science-y guy Bucky (TheNewBoston).

I was wondering if Java would be a good first programming language for me. Keep in mind, I am only 14, so I don't know things like calculus, but I do have a good solid understanding of things like trigonometry and algebra.
In your answer, I want to know if Java is a good programming language to apply to other languages later on like C and C++ or If I should just swap to different language entirely.
P.S. I don't really have an end goal in mind for what I want to do with programming, but I would like to design a simple game within the next year or so (maybe a platformer with more complex mechanics than your average platformer), or even just a calculator app with a slick UI.
Thanks in advance!
