   Yes.

   But it will teach you only web languages like php and asp which has got nothing to do with building video games.

   yes, its very much so coding.

   Problem is, PHP and HTML is quite different from the video game development used such as Java and C++. Don’t get me wrong, they have several things in common, but just doesn’t have the object orientated aspects you will need to understand for a 3D environment.

   No, you’ll want to take programming classes. C++, Java and the like.

   No it isnt. Unless you are learning a ton of javascript it will not help you at all for game programming as it has no variables, nothing dynamic, just simple tags that determine where things go.

   I HIGHLY recommend starting with Pascal or delphi (they are basically the same thing) as they are very easy to learn and help you grasp the concepts of programming very easily.

   It is always handy learning some things about web design as it is very easy and fun to do if you like designing things.

   Animation is required for developing games but not related to game programming. Most jobs like people who know all about different things but it isn’t always necessary.

   I wish you luck on your programming experiences.

   Depends on the class, My high schools comp classes usually consisted of..

   this is the computer, you use the keyboard to do input
   this is the chair, you sit on it..
   etc..

   Coding is just about writing programs using different languages. So, Technically, when you learn web design, if you learn to code in say HTML, you can claim that you have learned coding However, languages are very different from each other. So, if you want to become a video game programmer, you better learn the basics of programming languages, and work through understanding what is best for whatever you build, and try and search on the Internet for video game programmers who might help you out.

   This depends on the web design class at your high school.

   Dynamic websites do require coding, in the sense you are thinking (that is, a sequence of commands that do things). Both static and dynamic websites require one to write “descriptive” (my own term), rather than executable, code — such as XHTML and CSS.

   It is entirely possible, though, that your high school class will not involve writing any code at all; for example, your teacher may focus on requirements of good website design, how users expect or prefer to interact with websites, what kind of display to strive for, etc. You should find out what topics the class intends to cover, and whether it tends to take a hands-on, pragmatic approach or a hands-off, theoretical approach.

   In my opinion, yes, especially if you’ve never done any programming yet. I think it will train your mind to be able to see code but visualize the result or output.

   If nothing else, it would provide you a foundation to learn more web based programming such as PHP, ASP, Javascript, etc. Without at least a basic knowledge of HTML and web design I think it would be more difficult to master those areas.

   Web design could offer easy programming languages – such as html or active serve pages (asp) – however design is not usually associated with coding – to do video game programming you should learn C++ or Java – which is probably offered by a local community college – you could also learn “Flash” which allows you to design and animate – and then allows you to program your animations. You can make simple games as well.
