Simplest Game Programming Language?

[Gamerbird]

Hi all!

 

I plan on starting to program games instead of using a game engine but I am finding it hard to find a decent language.

What would you recommend I try?

 

If this helps I wish to mainly create RPG games.

 

Thank you in advance.

 

PS - Also if you could provide some tutorials on the language you could post that would be an added bonus.

There is no 'simplest' or 'easiest' - and this is coming from someone who has barely scratched the surface of programming. Try Python if you're looking for something relatively friendly to learn (For games built on python, look at civ 4) - and afterwards learn all your essentials: C and C++

 

Google up some tutorials, read everything you can - and learn. Programming isn't something that happens overnight.

I strongly recommend the game called COLOBOT. It is fun and challenging as well as a good introduction to object-oriented programming similar to C++, C# or Java.

 

It is not a game-engine platform but more of an introduction if you've never programmed before (or very little).

 

EDIT: There is a demo you can download to try it out.

looks interesting :)

you could also try blender... it has some functions build in which allow you to make games... add controls, physics, etc

Or you could try and download the DarkBasic Professional Trial. I think it's quite easy but I don't have time to learn it properly so I dropped it.

 

 

Cheers :thumbsup:
