I'd go c++! I started when I was 8 years old, you'll grab it fine! By the time you need some high level math you'll have learned it in High School. I'm 15 now and I've started on my MMORPG. I wouldnt say Java's easier than c++ they have the same syntax except for a couple difference's in the way things work. You'll be learning the language, and you wont have all that much use for some trig, I didnt use trig until 3 years after I started with some odd ball task an 11 year old (me) was banging his head into the wall trying to figure it out, but my dad just wrote down the equation, and the code and I never thought twice about it, I didnt even understand it, but it worked and was fine! but many beginner projects wont use trig, if you know how to add, subtract, multiply and devide you'll be fine! You can make many projects like snake, pac man, maze finding programs, all sorts of fun stuff without knowing trig! I'd start with c++ because it has more expandablity than Java and in the future if you want to know java its easier to go from c++ to java than vice versa. Wether you use java or c++ you'll run into the same math at the same time. I'd start with c++ do comand prompt aplications using basic input, output, and get used to the language, Then I would pick up a 2D game programming book and really goto town. I made snake, pacman, a snowball fight game, a cell game like how the pokemon games worked without combat, astroids, space invaders all before i became 13, knowing how much you know now will not only make learning a programming language easier but it wont take so long as it did for me, I could hardly understand tutorials and books! Java's boring anyway...(in my opinion)
