Author Topic: Making a game, what Language?  (Read 2314 times)

This is Ducky Duck we're talking about here. Sure, you learned it just fine, but not everyone has a mind that's capable of wrapping itself around C++.

I know how to code, the way I act on the forums is completely different from my skill level. I'm still terrible at math.

of course it's possible, but I wouldn't expect that of anyone who doesn't know the difference between java and javascript

I figured out the difference a long time ago.

you better get better

game development requires lots of math if you're making your own engine

I figured that,

I mean, I can Add, Subtract , and Multiply. I suck at dividing big numbers.


have you learned purple distro

You could start off simple with an engine like Unity. That is, if you only want to make a game. If you're in it to learn programming, go for C++ or Lua. Java isn't a bad option either, especially for something small like this.

Holy, what did you just say? If you want your game to actually be a game and turn out good, you need to learn programming and use a more advanced/open source engine like Panda3D or OGRE (don't you dare loving start that Shrek stuff).

It's his first game. He's not going to make the next CoD. The language or engine he starts out with doesn't matter at all, when it's easy enough to switch to a better one once you've gained enough experience,

I think Ill go with what Kingdaro said, thanks for helping guys!


You can keep discussing.

Oh, I see what you mean. Sorry for being a prick.


Huh? Javascript is viable. Plornt sent me this yesterday: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1633022/Plornt%27s%20Uprise/index.html
There's a difference between "possible" and "advisable"

I wasn't saying it was impossible in general, though. specifically for ducky duck
but I have a hard time believing he could make anything right now, in any language

C is a good language to start with

C++ builds off of C and is geared towards more advanced users

I hate how LUA reads but its supposed to be a good language

Python isnt good for games

Javascript is horrid
