Scripting, coding, programming, etc.

[mp7964]

Did you just google scripting languages and post them all?

No. I'll provide examples for each if you'd like.

Unity's fun.

A little confusing, but still fun.

What's the difference between java and javascript?

javascript is for web development

[ResonKinetic]

No. I'll provide examples for each if you'd like.

Are you gonna copy and paste those too?

javascript is for web development

And java is just for executables and things, right?

[mp7964]

Are you gonna copy and paste those too?

You're implying that I copy-pasted something in the first place. Why are you being a richard lol.

And Java is for executables, yes. It's compiled into bytecode which is then run by the virtual machine, while C++, for example, is compiled directly into assembly, which is interpreted by the processor.

If you know what you're doing, it's pretty easy.

All I really know is some darkbasic, which is a very nice language

I'm currently coding a neat game engine in java for 2D games
Also I know JavaScript, XHTML and CSS

[devildogelite]

Speaking of keeping code neat, the way some people do their spacing drives me nuts. I don't get why people try to jam everything into a smaller space. It's not like the length of your program really matters. I only do Java so far but whenever I messed around with any other language I keep all of what I learned about formatting from Mr.Wallet on his blockland tutorials. I use new lines, tons of whitespace and camelCase, it makes everything so much more bearable. Though I need to work on using comments more.


Today I just finished a gui for my Intro to Programming class. It was a pain in the ass because I had to format a text field. I ended up just using 4 separate text fields so everything looked neat. It came out pretty good if I do say so myself.

I'm thinking about learning C++ to make games, and programs like Aerodynamic's Password Recover program he posted in the gallery. It inspired me to start learning C++

Should I learn it?

It kinda sucks cause it was made in 3 months as a class final project. I spent half the time working on a physics engine that I didn't finish in time for the final release and so alot of levels revolving around this mechanic were cut and the game was shorter than i had originally envisioned it. And we outsorced the cutscenes though she didnt really have much time and we should have just done it ourselves. It was a valuable learning experience though.

Currently learning java to make android games.

What's the difference between java and javascript?

They are completely different and have nothing to do with eachother at all. It's just a coincidence that they both have "Java" in them.
Javascript is a client-sided language for websites and stuff. Java is some gay ass stuff that Minecraft was made in.

[fawkes..]

I want to learn a language, I just don't know which one too choose, there seems to be so many.

[Kaphonaits²]

I find Cpp's syntax the most unnecessarily complex syntaxes in programming. I mean, it's bearly readable.
Even ASM and Python (to me) look more readable.

how is it unnecessarily complex

So would you say C++ is the master race of scripting languages?

programming language*

you silly.

ontopic: i kick around games and stuff in c++ but i never finish anything because i'm really unmotivated. i understand what's good and what's not / the language in general pretty well though.

Choose Python. It's a good language for beginners, from what I've heard. The syntax is quite readable and easy to understand. Also, all the documentation (examples and stuff) include references to Monty Python, which is kinda cool :)

I know quite a lot of Python and Matlab, some HTML (not a language, but still) and a little bit of TorqueScript.
