What's the best language for game developing?

Question

I've heard many games are developed with C++ and that Python has a good library (pygame). What do you think?

Answer 1

I think FLASH the easiest

Answer 2

That depends on what type of games you want to develop, and for which platform. You'll typically get the best performance from C or C++ (next to coding directly in Assembly, of course), but at the expense of much greater development and debugging times. Python much easier to develop in and debug, at the expense of performance.

I've often read the suggestion made to use Python's C interface as a compromise between the two, using Python for the overall game (menus, options, game logic) and C for the time-critical bits.

But as I said, your target platform is also a factor. What I said above applies primarily to a desktop or possibly some consoles. Under Android, for instance your main options are going to be C++ or Java.
