Hi everyone. A little while ago, I started TheNewBoston's Java tutorials. I ended up stopping and trying to pick up Python. I stopped that too. I do now where to start. I would not mind trying to do Java or Python again. I want to eventually create ganes (of course) but I do not know which language to start with. Also, which language is used to make games that only.require Windows, like an .exe and .dll files. Sorry if I explained that poorly. Also, is Unity needed to make 3d games and such as well as which language is best for that.

Well the University-college I went to that had a game dev course started their students out with C++. So I guess you should start with that.

 

Also follow your own topic.

You can use Unity3D to make 3D games. I usually use C#, but you can use Javascript as well.

You can make executables for games in many programs. I think Unity supports this feature too.

I would recommend C++ programming, heard that is awesome (difficult, yes) and very useful.

Is there a coding language that coexist with Unity to make games? Or can I code a whole 3D game using C++

As I said, Unity uses C# or Javascript.

I am not very experienced with C++, so don't know  if you can make a 3D game with it
