newbie question

You might want to look at PyGame.
http://pygame.org/

Newbies can go far using PyGame but the maths can be a bit complex no
matter what language or package you use.
For an alternative try Blender 3d.
http://blender.org
Blender is a 3d suite that can do it all and then some , it's free ,and
it uses Python for it's  scripting. You can create a game and never
touch a piece of code if you use the builtin actuators and sensors, or
you can script with Python.
