Hi all. My name is Aaron and I am thinking of entering the next Ludum Dare compo, and this would be for me to get better at that language. I am just stuck on one problem. Which language is that gonna be?<\/p>\n

I have heard from multiple people that C# is good and Java is easy to learn. I know both of these fairly. But I want to continue learning this language so I come here to find out what language is best to use in game programming. I know there are some professional’s here and know what a good language is for games, and all I am is a noob. So, if you wouldn’t mind, could you please comment on what a good game programming language is.<\/p>\n

Thanks a bunch,
\n Aaron<\/p>","time":"August 23rd, 2011 8:04 pm","title":"What\u2019s better?"}
