C/C++, C#, Javascript, learned some Java at one point so could probably manage that because it's almost exactly the same as C#.

What does changing the language itself do to help program this game any better? I find it hard to believe that there was any need to change the actual semantics of the language.

Edit: Most of it seems like they just changed keywords.. I still don't really understand the point though.

Default Re: What programming language do you use?

1) Turing: Some shitty learning language I learned in grade 11

2) Visual BASIC: Only object orientated language I know, not a fan of it

3) ASP (VB Script)

4) Bash (Shell scripting in general)

5) PHP

6) Perl: Been working with this for making CGI scripts for web pages

7) C

Also since people are mentioning it HTML but I'm too lazy to use CSS properly and code like it's the 90's.

My favourite language would have to be a tie between C and Perl. C because you can mess around with a lot of low level stuff and feels more like interacting with the hardware and Perl because it's powerful as ****.

Pretty sure I took those exact same courses. Good times~

It's used to save A LOT of time when making software to interact with a game engine. Basically writing software to interact with software that responds to save writing an insane amount of code every time you want to interact with the game engine.

I learned VB and java in past courses (with a side of python for my summative) and I'm learning java again this year. Fun stuff.

Doesn't it seem like you can just make a .API or some kind of library to solve that problem instead of altering the actual language?

In school I took classes in Java and C. I've used C++ for a few small personal projects, and in my co-op right now I use some Visual Basic and C# as well as C++.

VisualBASIC is like a version of BASIC to interact with an object oriented environment.

UnrealScript is like a version of Java to interact with the Unreal game engine.
