Best language for space invaders

[prolemur]

I'll use C++

[nightlitezzz]

English

 

EDIT: Okay, English, French, Chinese, and probably a couple others. Just make different versions as in one version is this language and that version is another language.

There isn't one truly "best" language for something like space invaders.

 

C# would be an quick easy build, and for something that doesn't need cutting edge graphical optimization is quite handy.  Downside is porting

 

Java overall a good choice, similar to C# (imo a bit more clunky compared to C#) but the benefit is you could roll over some of your java code over to android, create applets to run in web-browsers, and just in general cross platform support.

 

C++ well you have lots of choices here, you could go with something like opengl/directx support, win32 api calls and such, so lots of flexibility but the graphical side of things would probably be more complex

Make it in Unity, use either javascript or C#, you could probably finish it in under an hour.

Actually, if you use Monogame, a multi-platform game development tool, you can port to iOS, android, wp8, w8, linux and mac

work with

 

Python 3.3.2 Windows X86-64 MSI Installer 

 

and all i have to do is import pygame?

[inastris]

pygame seems to work best with version 2.7 of python

 

well you import it, and then there are a bunch of things you need to setup like the screen and such. 

 

There are many good example online, or there is the documentation as well.
