Learn programmng. That is all.
By the way, you do know that you won't touch actual game and instead will only see code? You will not decide what is going into game and instead will just implement what game designes decided? Programming in game industry is not much different from, say, programming Internet Explorer: you have a task, you do it.

programming is not all, need to learn vector maths as well.
