Well, start choosing if you want to learn programming or not, if you want learn programming you just can do everithing, but its no easy and you will need a whole of time and dedication, but without programming maybe you will find some limitations.
Anyway, I gonna show you programs that uses programming and non-programming.
Programming ones (hardest to easiest): XNA Studio: It uses C# language and you can make pc and xbox games.
Flash: It uses AS2 and AS3 languages and you can make web/flash games.
Game Maker: It uses GML and you can make pc games.
Non-programming ones(Hardest to easiest): Game Maker: You can make PC games. Scirra construct: You can make pc games. Stencyl: You can flash game.
Just because it makes more complicated things, doesn't mean it's harder. A lot of Actionscript is counterintuitive and difficult to work with, also, it's barely a real language, it's a scripting language that's more of a dialect of javascript. C# or C++ can make wonders and can actually be a lot simpler than Actionscript.
