How's the best way to go about things to become a video game progammer? Not designer but progammer. When I did research on the internet, the information showed that I had to go to the ways of video game designer learning as well. But before all that...I was wondering if any other jobs are available that I will both enjoy and what may be better for me. I mean, I wouldn't mind staring at a computer screen all day coding, just wondering what else is out there. Although I progamming seems the most intriguing.

Well, you need to know how to actually code first.

Game programming requires knowing about game design, because, how can you make a game if you don't understand how they are supposed to work? They go hand in hand, and are basically required if you want to get a job doing game programming. They don't just say "I want this, go!" and you type away. You need to understand how it all fits together.
