Do you code with Python or something? Like to make a game? I'm curious about it and going to learn basic Python to use with PyGames, anyone tried this?

(I realize there is a coding section, but this is more for a game. Didn't know which to do xD)

Python is a scripting language, meaning that it does not need to be compiled. Python works on almost all OS. Pythons’ syntax is all about tidiness and legibility, this is because of whitespace.

Why Python:

Python is a very wise choice for programming because it is a fairly easy language to learn, yet so powerful and useful. Python code is also very easy to read this is important because if you make a mistake you can easily see where it is, also if you are programming with someone else they can easily pick up where you left off. If you are going to learn a language such as Perl, you will notice that if you are looking at someone else’s source code it gets very confusing unless they are commenting there code. In Python it is good to comment the code but if you don’t it is a lot easier to read and understand what is going on then many other languages.

Could Python Get Me a Job:

Yes, many people and corporations need Python programmers. Python is a language this is used very much in the world today. Here is a list of companies and applications that use Python.

Applications: BitTorrent, Deluge, Emesene, Portage, Quake Army Knife, and many more

Games: Civilization 4, Battlefield 2, Eve Online. Freedom Force, Frets on Fire, The Temple of Elemental Evil, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, Vegas Strike.

Companies: Blizzard, Firaxis Games, Google, Nasa, and many more.

Hope this information helped! :grin:

Java would be your best bet for coding a game, quickly.
While I have coded my own games in python, it does take some time.
The farthest I have gotten is simple blackjack games. : )

Haha wow. Well, hopefully with PyGames it might be easier. Sprites are what I'm worried about though.

You should be fine. : )
It's not super difficult to grasp the concepts.

I use the programming languages such as Java, Jave Script, C, C++ and a little of C# for graphics.

For games, learn Java or C#.

Python isn't great for games IMHO.

I also dislike Python with a passion.

Don't use C# for basic gaming lmao. For gaming, use C++ and you will learn a bit of C in the process since C++ is a upgraded version of C. If you want really simple games, use Java. Java is a great language to start of your game coding career.

Never liked python and personally, I think it's a waste of time to learn.

There is a programming section and for Gamedevelopement you should go for C++.

Please learn your facts before you post.

C# is great for games.
If you have ever head of Indie Games on Xbox 360, they are all in C# with the XNA Studio.
You could also make games for Windows phone with C#.

There is also a exe for all Indie Games, so they could also be played on the computer.


C# Is amazing for entry level games.

Not a waste of time at all.
It is not the best for GUI applications, but can make some tasks much, much simpler.

Java has a C like syntax.

Learn a "C" Language first.


You could just jump into Java, it is somewhat simple IMHO.

Java is the best to learn first I think. It's very easy to pick up and learn. I'd then do a little with C then move onto C++.

I also do know my facts wiggles. It all depends on what type of game you want to make. I've made 2 Android platform games. One fully made and other is almost half way. I already have my site up and running as well for support. C# isn't used as much compared to C++ in games or java.
