Wich language should I learn for Game Development / Game related ?

Question

:)

Answer 1

Depends on the type game, (3D first person shooter, arcade, puzzle), where do you want it to run? Website, mobile, games console, desktop / laptop? Is it just for fun, or are you hoping to make money?

Answer 2

I would say Unity Engine is a good option, so C#. There is also Unreal Engine, or a visual scripting language and C++. If you want to create a game from scratch, I prefer C++ because there is so many libraries (OpenGL for everything, SDL and SFML for 2D, And Ogre for 3D)

Answer 3

Let's say 2D Platformer on PC Desktop and Laptop (Doesn't matter) Windows It's for fun and learning

Answer 4

For simple games for fun, PyGame is useful alongside python.

Answer 5

I'd go with SFML for a 2D platformer. Simple and quick. Though I'm a C (and C++) person.

Answer 6

Github is tried and tested. There's Bitbucket, too. If you use Github, don't version your graphics. It would be better to use your Google drive or Dropbox for graphics, since Github might penalise you for any file that's not plain text or large. It's easy to maintain directory structure by archiving the entire image set. It depends on how you're running things. Do some dry runs and see what works. The git software is compatible with a few repos beside github.

Answer 7

I'm not on the SL Discord yet (on my todo list), but you could try someone there. There's also the github documentation in most languages. If you have any specific questions, you can post them here.
