Multiplatform Languages?

[Thorax]

I've decided that I really want to learn a language this winter when I have nothing to do, and I want to learn one that doesn't apply just for computers. I've had an idea for a while for a game I want to make and I just now finished planning it all out on paper, so now comes the starting phases of the game. I want it to be a multiplatform game that will be for the PC, iPod Touch, PSP, and DS (Possible for the Mac also, but mostly for the ones I listed). I'd like if it was a mainstream language, but any that will fit those 4 easily are fine. Also, just the name of the language is fine, I'm capable of doing some research on my own, it just hard starting from scratch.

Bump.

Spanish?  C++? lua? C#?  C# has xna, which works for xbox and PC.

[Thorax]

Taking Spanish already... ;)

I'll look into C++ and C#. I've tried Lua, and although it works, I don't like it too well.

[Thorax]

Bump. Any other suggestions?

C# will only work on Windows-based platforms - PC and XBox. If you want Mac, Linux or console compatibility you should use C++ and only open/public libraries. (e.g. OpenGL not DirectX or WinAPI)

If you go with C++, start with C. It teaches you how C++ works and it can also be used in embedded development as well.

Also, I don't know if you'll be able to develop for the DS and PSP. My guess is you'd need some sort of SDK for them.

I'll look into those.

I've tried Lua a bit and I don't think the games come out to well.
