Whats Better to Learn XNA or TorqueScript?
Hi I'm wondering what I should learn, I have had little experience in programming and would like to make a 2d game like super mario or this game http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WA8GkGrdLMs
Within a year or less of learning a language.
If you can recommend any helpful books, websites or learning dvds as well that would be awesome.
5 stars for best/thorough answer :)
1 AnswerProgramming & Design9 years agoWhat programming language should I start of making games in?
I know everybody talks about gamemaker, blitz3d, and darkbasis but I want to try one of the more proffesional languages that would be used in the companys, I also want to work with a language that I can make games(mainly 2d, maybe basic 3d) on my own and not have to work with others, please don't say c++, I do like C but not C++.
I was thinking either Python, Perl, Java, VB, C#, JavaScript, etc.
I want to be able to make games like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrEgUv3_isY
I don't mind how easy the langauge is as long as it is a proffesional language if you know what I mean.
So please I must say again no gamemaker,darkbasic,blitzbasic,blitz3d, Multimedia Fushion, Games Factory, etc.
Also for the language you think I should do, please can you suggest a book to learn it with or at a least a website full of tutorials, or video dvd.
I really appreciate this, thank you.
And I will give 5 stars to the most insightful and helpful answer.
Cheers.
PS: I have had very, very little experience in programming, basically just done bits of vbscript, vb6, DarkBasic, and typed a hello world program in C.

3 AnswersMovies9 years agoWhich Programming Language/IDE should I choose?
I have done some programming in the past on VB6 and DarkBasic.
It's been a while since I last used those programs, and my projects were only small, with the most minimal coding.
So you could call me a beginner in the programming field, anyway sometime I would like to eventually make games like Donkey Kong Country or Bubsy.
I was wondering what language would you recommend, and can you recommend any books for that language.
Some that I have considered are Unity 3d(Boo, JavaScript, C#) , GameMaker(GML), Multimedia Fusion 2, Visual Basic, Torque, DarkBasic Pro, BlitzBasic, Blitz3d, QBasic, QB64, Java, Python.
Also can you recommend any books/video tutorials on the language that you say is best for me?
Thanks for all the help.

3 AnswersVideo & Online Games9 years agoHave you ever had a experience like mine?
Hey a while ago, a guy from my church asked me if this ex-girlfriend of mine was still chasing me, we were interrupted and I never got to ask him what he had meant by the question, a couple years later my OCD got really bad and I felt that the reason he asked was because he knew something I did not, so I pursued in asking him the question " Why did you ask me whether my ex-girlfriend was still chasing me" once my dad asked him to which he started talking about his mother, and how he had a hard life growing up(keep in mind this guy is in his late forties,early fifties). When I asked him he said the same to me as he did to my dad and then mentioned that there just was a women in his past who was chasing him, and then we were interrupted AGAIN.
A year passed and I asked him again, to which he said "you know sometimes you see familiar faces, when your shopping or walking around church or in church" and then he would change the subject. I rang him up 6 weeks later and explained to him I did not understand and would he reiterate or expand on the answer to which he gave me an example and said " you know, like when I was shopping last week I met up with two friends in the local shop"
I explained to him that the answer he gave did not make sense and asked why had he given me different answers before, to which he went crazy and started abusing me on the phone, I ended up hanging up on him because I could not take any more screaming and shouting.
So to sum up,
He asked me a question regarding whether or not an old girlfriend(who was chasing me) was still chasing me.
and when I asked him to explain what he meant years later, he ended up giving me a answer that did not make sense, unless the question he asked was
"Have you seen that woman?"
Unfortuneatelly that was not the question he originally asked, and so that answer he gave me was wrong too.
Do other people do stuff like this, and can you give some examples?
PS: did I ask this in the right section?
