What program language do a need to learn?

And is it difficult to learn?

I am expecting some flaming, so I don't care.

We use TorqueScript. It is similar to C#.

Ok. I will update later...

Ok,so I skimmed through it, it's a bunch of commands you can use, I want to learn how to use Tourqe.

So, if I learn tourqe, should I be able to script?

Edit: Would learning C++ help at all?

I believe syntax is discussed at the beginning. The game runs on TorqueScript, so yes. And learning any C language would certainly help as Torque is a modified form of C++.

The closest language to TorqueScript I can think of is PHP, but if you only want to learn Torque then there's no point learning C++ because that will teach you a load of stuff you don't need.

Depends if you just want to make Blockland add-ons or if you're actually looking to learn how to do programming in general.
