I'm looking learn to develop my own app. Whats a good programming language to start with?

Question

I want an app that will let me sync up with friends to play DND style games. I'd like an interactive grid to make maps and the ability to update each players stats and etc. any suggestions?

Answer 1

Java!

Answer 2

Java is cross-platform (write once, run everywhere), I'd say that it's the default language of machines (and especially games!)

Answer 3

i think for that kind of usage .. you should use C .. it's fast and alot of games use it .. also you should do some research on game engins .. game engins will help you alot .. one thing though .. if you are new to programming .. my advice is to start with an easier language like python .. just to get the basics .. if you start with C .. you'll get a hard time with it .. and possibly feel disappointed and stop programming .. ps : avoid procrastination :p .. }} BE HAPPY !! {{

Answer 4

from you question i am assuming you want to create a commercial level game ....then you need more than a language . the fastest way for it is to download unity pro as it supports many languages and good as game designer.have fun as making a game is a pretty big project

Answer 5

what does java offer that makes it your choice?

Answer 6

D&D!
I was considering writing a D&D-like app myself. The plan I thought of was, html-css to develop the site page then javascript cause I wanted a moble app.
