I really want to be one when I grow up and I know how to code tic tac toe and pong on DEV-C++ and a lott more but I want to be a professional like the guys who make PS3 games and that stuff.
How to become a professional gaming programmer?
The best route into professional game programming is a Computer Science degree from a good college, preferably near a city with a lot of game studios. Going to school near an industry hub like Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Austin, etc, will make it a lot easier to find a job once you graduate. Don't waste your time with "game programming" schools or majors, they're more expensive and won't prepare you nearly as well as a normal CS degree will. Along with your CS classes you should also take two or three writing courses, and at least one art course -- these will help you communicate with your team mates later on.

Specialise in game development or such courses from university. Publish your games on the Internet and show your potential employers that you can develop such cool games.

You need to be smart! Keep advancing your math skills and go to school for CS or even choose a gaming major. However, be weary of the gaming major. You have a lot more options with a degree in CS, one of those options being a gaming professional.
