Question

What programming language is good for what (like 2D, 3D programs...)? Which one gives the programs the best performance or the most abilities?
I recently started learning programming languages and I don't know which one I should choose for which project. Can somebody help me?

Answer 1

C# Unity 3D

Answer 2

No, I didn't mean it like that, instead, example: "Games in C# have a better framerate than in Python" or "Java is better for 3D games, because... bla bla bla..."
You know what I mean.

Answer 3

for 3d program you have C# and C++, for me C++ is better because it's not windows-only, have better performances (the différence si not so big), but C# is maybe a bit easier because it have a lot of functionality from the .net framework, but if you want tout create game, then C# and C++ have some good games engines, Unity for C# and a weird javascript-like, CryEngine and UnrealEngine for C++, so my conclusion would be : go for C++, for 3d games it's better, or if performances are not that important then go C#, but think to what else you could do when you have those programming skills. (sorry for my awfull english)

Answer 4

Thanks, that helped a lot.

Answer 5

c++ for game dev
c# also, game engines use it

Answer 6

But, what about Java?

Answer 7

i would not go on java, and as you are probably beginning java is not easy to switch to others language, where with C++ you can learn C#, Java or other langages un like 1 month.
