Message: [QUOTE="Deleted member 210, post: 136278, member: 210"] A world of pain... Syntax, performances, and target platform aside... Main difference between Javascript and C++, is that in Javascript you don't have to deal with fundamental concepts such as memory allocation/pointers/memory leaks... Since it's handled for you by the VM (virtual machine) just like in Java... And it comes of course at a performance cost... I would suggest: 1) Javascript to get used to the basics (variables, objects, functions, loops, conditions, event listeners, scope...) and for the ease of use in terms of getting something running like "Right now! With just my crappy Notepad and my stupid Firefox !" It hardly can be more simple to start coding games without starting to get completely dumb. ... 2) Java, to get used to "data types" among other things, and actually start coding something that actually is an actual desktop application, a game for desktop (or Android). It still requires to have Java installed on the host machine, but that's a thing in the world of computing... 3) And then C/C++ to get used to handling memory allocation yourself, because again in Java or Javascript that's something the computer does for you, in your back... And then you'll be able to make a Sega Megadrive game with SGDK! [URL]https://github.com/Stephane-D/SGDK[/URL] C#? Yeah why not... "The Common Language Runtime (CLR), which is a virtual machine component of the Microsoft .NET Framework, manages the execution of .NET programs, including those written in C#." OH THAT'S TOO BAD ! Behold the craporama hell of depedencies and proprietary martyrdom... [URL]https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32280874/can-any-c-sharp-application-be-run-on-linux[/URL] Maybe you could go with haxe and openfl...? Or Godo...? So? So let's start, right here, right now. Download the attached .zip file of this post, extract it, and open the "myGame.html" file with your browser (firefox for instance). Code is commented, it's a basic example. Then toy with it with a text editor, Notepad works... But you'll want some text coloration so I suggest you download a descent text editor, personnaly I use sublime text editor free version. Now of course eveybody will recommend that you download that Visual Studio Code gas factory thing, and why not it's great, I find it way too heavy personally, I like to keep it simple, I just need text coloration.
