Order of languages I learned
>HTML (if you count it)
>TorqueScript
>PHP
>Python
>C++
>JavaScript
The way I wish I did it
>C++
>Python
>PHP
>JavaScript
>TorqueScript

i don't think HTML even really counts
if it did i would've said i started with that
...actually i think i did lua before torquescript but w/e
torquescript was the first i became proficient in to a reasonable extent

If HTML and batch counts (which they probably don't) then those were my first languages.
If not, then TorqueScript was my first.

I like how we did stuff with this kiddy program called scratch, IN loving SCHOOL
WHAT THE forget WE THOUGH WE ARE GOING TO LEARN PROGRAMMING
NOT PULLING ROUND BUTTONS TOGETHER

[Electrk]

Oh god scratch. We had to use that in the summer assignment for our computer science class.

Scratch is awful
Now I'm stuck with DarkBasic, which seems to be a bit similar to Torque in that it is kinda old, slow, and incorporates an engine.

I found this: http://docs.garagegames.com/tgea/official/content/documentation/Scripting%20Reference/Introduction/TorqueScript.html

Is this a correct source?

DarkBasic is really cute. It's all retro-y and stuff and it's loads of fun.

Kind of. A lot of stuff won't work.

scratch is really neat imo, but it's not something you'd make a big serious game with.
