what language do u use? in creating games?

Just me personally, I prefer VB. I don't want to start yet another C++ vs VB battle here, but I find it more than enough for my needs. However, I'm not creating any MMORPG, either.

Currently, I'm doing Textures/Skinning for a game called Midnight Manhatten by Blueprint Games. Check it out sometime! Imagine a FPS mixed with GTA.

I use Visual Basic. Good enough for me.

I know Visual Basic and it's alright. Good starting Language. And I'm learning C++. They're a lot alike whether you'll admit it or not.

I'm currently programming and ASCII rpg game (NetHack-like) with C++. I know a bit from Java too, but havent do anything since a year or even more...Anyway, i think C++ is best for game programming. I'm thinking soon to be moving to OpenGl, maybe when i finish this game (IF i finish it, i've stuck since two days... )

I've made a few basic console games in C, C++ and Java.Some of the games were, guess the number (NOT copied form a tutorial, my own code), X and O/Naughts and Crosses/Tic-Tac-Toe/etc.,Java being the best language as it supports strings internall, instead of having to store it in an char array then have a hell of a crap time trying to get the string back.

I've done alot of programming in both C++ and Java, but I've never tried to combine the two. It seems like a really effective model would be to use Java with heavy use of JNI (Java Native Interface) which allows you to do some routines (the fast ones) in another language. If you do the game logic in Java to make it easy, then do low level graphics routines etc. (stuff that has a high cycle count) Anybody try this before?

C# and Managed directX is the way to go man. Why, coz c# is so Object Orientation friendly. Add that with a easy to understand/learn syntax of managed directx and wham, u got yourself a nice games programming language.

Hey, I use flash. Its very Visual based, and its fairly easy. plus Flashkit has a lot of tutorials and stuff. Flash is kind of expensive, but its easy and fun to use. plus its very interactive and you see progress along the way, opposed to C++ which used to program in.

what language do you prefer in creating/developing games?

 

i'm just starting to programm and i'm using c++ 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Hey me too!

 

Except I'm not really starting.. I've used other programming languages but haven't really done anything with them.

 

Good luck learning c++... I'm having a bit of trouble, but no matter.
