DOS Games Discussion

I recently started a survey about what kind of programming language people prefer.So reply to this message and say what programming language is your favorite.After 10 Days,I will tally it up and post the most prefered language so begginers or others can get a good start,Or For Oldies,Use A More Efficient Language.Or Easier.

6502 assembler, or maybe awk.

Depends on what you mean by "efficient". In a sense assembly language is most efficient since it RUNS most efficiently, but it's certainly not most efficient to actually program in. A "higher" language (like C, Visual Basic, etc) is easier and more efficient for actually developing stuff. But you lose a certain amount of control as you move from "lower" level languages to "higher" ones; ex, Ruby on Rails allows really fast development, but you're also constrained.

In sum, there is no "best" programming language. It's whatever is best suited to the task you're trying to perform.

BASIC!

(in its various manifestations: GWBASIC, QuickBASIC, BASICA, Visual BASIC, Atari/C64 BASIC, etc.)

Reason: because it's what I learned when I was a little kid, and I grew up with it, and thus it is my personal programming language.

Started with ADAM SmartBASIC, moved on to GWBASIC/BASICA, then on to QuickBASIC, then to Visual BASIC.

I created 5 games on QuickBASIC.

C! And Basic. And Adventure Game Studio!... and whatever, I find my way around any kind of language pretty fast!

I'm a big fan of C++. With some SDL, that's hot for game programing.

I'm also trying to learn Obj-C. Maybe I'll recommit myself to learning it once Obj-C 2.0 comes out.

woow ... I was waiting for a very long time to have a permission to sign in.. [my english got sick]
Anyway,,,
Qbasic
QuickBasic 4.5
Visual BASIC [dosversion]
Visual BASIC [windows version]
BASIC language is the best..
because I am using it now....
In the next few weeks I will release my games..

I am NeonAMD64, and I hope you are happy for...

If nobody is going to answer or reply,i have now cancelled the survey.

Dude, I LOVE the AGS. Could never figure out how to develop with it, but it has some AWESOME games.

C/C++,but mostly C++

VB, C++, PHP are my 3 fave languages. Go convert a telnet door over to PHP, I'll give you a cookie. lol. Start with Ambroshia. It's one of my faves
