Which language should i learn for making games

[FilipSebik]

Title. If asked which langague i want to know then C# and Java

[PlayStation 2]

Probably C++

not java, that thing is inefficient as hell

C# And use Unity as a game engine 

Edit:

Unity PERSONAL EDITION is Free to use unless you make $100,000 in a yearly cycle, then you have to buy Unity Pro. Even then, $100 dollars and you won't have to worry about it ever again.

C# is a good one to learn, it's pretty versatile. Java is also good, but not so much for games (can be used, but it's not as powerful as variations of C). C (and C#, C++ and so on) are object based languages, which are often used for games. Learning any of them will give you a good understanding for how they're structured, and after learning that, the others are much easier to pick up.

Java, is easier and multiplatform but will take more development time to optimize for lower end pcs

C++ is windows only but is relatively light on hardware

 

pick your poison, windows only or having to optimize

Java is really big in this world, a couple of old guys I know had to reeducate themselves because their companies switched to Java.

For gaming it might not be the greatest but for all other applications it is great.

https://www.codecademy.com/ is a great free site where you can learn how to code.

If you like videos more than exercises I would recommend Lynda.com 

Use the Linus thingy to get a month for free or if you are in college check if they have a license for you available. (I got mine for €20 for a year)

The only reason I don't recommend Java is because the optimization is a mess.

I understand it's multi-platform but that's what makes it sloppy and ultimately inefficient.

C++ and Unreal Engine 4 or...

 

C# and Unity.

 

Seriously though, Unreal Engine is absurdly awesome for what you get. I love making levels in UE4. I usually just take some pictures for textures, put them in CrazyBump (free), and just start building levels. You can also get started with blueprint. I don't know how advanced you are, but here's what can be done in UE4. Still, for some reason I kind of prefer Unity of Unreal Engine, from a usability standpoint.

 

 

[PampaZiya]

C++ for UE4 and C# for Unity. I'd start with Unity, it's really simple and easy, in fact I made both my entries for the UltraWideFestival fo Linus and UnboxTherapy using Unity and it was fairly easy (But keep in mind I already had experience with Unity and been programming for a long time)

Stay away from java. C++ or C# are your best bets for game development.

[DevBlox]

Oooh, don't make the same mistake Minecraft did, don't use Java for games, it's great for some other things, but not games. You can go deep down and dirty with C++ and write your own game engine (good luck lol), or use a ready made game engine like Unreal Engine or Unity, it's up to you to choose the 'religion'.

[FilipSebik]

So thanks everyone and i will go with C# and Unity for now and i will see then which programming language will use my teacher of programming on my school.
