Developing A Game

in ODK (OUYA Developer Kit)
I'm new to programming and am wishing to make a game. But I'm having some issues getting off the ground. So answers regarding my questions will be much appreciated. One of my problems is how to set up a project in Eclipse, I am going to use C#, but how do I get the project to use C# and what should I set all the properties to when I create the project? Another problem I am having is how to use the ODK like how do I get it set up and working? Do I use the Android Application Project to display on the OUYA?
Just to sum the rest up...How do I get into the position to start creating a game?

    I'm an intermediate programmer, and in your shoes atm. I'm following this link - https://devs.ouya.tv/developers/docs/setup - I'll let you know how far I get.

    If you want to use C#, forget about Eclipse.  You will need either Xamarin.Android or dot42.

    Xamarin.Android can work with Visual Studio 2010 or 2012 Professional and higher, or comes with Xamarin Studio, a free VS-like IDE.  There are various editions you can license.

    dot42 requires Visual Studio 2010 or 2012 Professional or higher.  dot42 has a free Community License.  You just have to jump through a few hoops to get an application key and never try to make money from the app.

    Or Unity3D is another option for C#, it's a full-fledged game engine with drag and drop level setup (drop an object into a level, then drag and drop a C# script onto that object to control it).

    If your willing to do C# why not just use Java?  I mean at least you don't have to jump through hoops getting tools and libraries to work.  This would allow you to use Eclipse or my chose JetBrains IDE Community Edition.
