With the console game code I've seen, most are done in C. Like all the Gameboy and DS games. Even a bunch of the 360 stuff is done mainly using a C syntax with OOP designs.

Simple maybe, but still a time killer... and entertaining!

I actually thought Fallout 3 was a really good game. I felt it was a lot easier to 'put myself' in the game. Though the thing that REALLY pissed me off is when I finally decided to 'finish' the game. I was expecting to be able to continue my game, like you could in Oblivion. But no such luck, had to...

I suppose for 'kids' or 'beginning programmers' this is a good thing... though really... do they need something more simple than VB? Sounds a bit too user friendly to me...

WTF!?

Seems a bit odd that they would teach VB 6.0 over .NET, though personally I liked 6.0 a lot better. I was pretty mad when I had just learned my first programming language (6.0) and after summer break I come back to school, and being told I had to now learn .NET. Eh, overall they're not too dissimilar.

Man, its been ages since I've done this stuff, but it was pretty interesting and I learned a lot when I did, so I definitely advice you to go into it! That's exactly why I want to make an NES game, I'm really looking forward to it, I think it'll be a blast. On a side note the community college I go...

Assembly comes with an initial shock, then gets much easier. Yeah, I figured it was easier than my mind makes it out to be. I think that it's harder going from C to C++. With that transition, you are literally changing the way that your mind thinks: from procedural to object oriented. I definitely ...

I've been contemplating this for a while, and recently have been looking at a bunch of info about programming a game on the NES. One thing that intrigues and scares me is the 6502 assembly. The lowest level of programming experience I have is C, and what little I have looked at the assembly code, it...

Personally I started by taking a class on C back in the day, along with countless hours of fiddling around with Visual Basic in high school. From there I just grabbed the C++ book that the local community college was using for their C++ classes (Sams C++ Primer Plus by Stephen Prata) it's a huge boo...

Holy hell... do you get much better than that...

Well I'm going to say I've beat Fallout 3. Beat the main quest, and god knows how many side quests. Have damn near 100 hours logged already. I figure when my eyes start bleeding I should take a break from whatever game I'm playing! :P

there is only C in the world of development. almost all OS, Unix, Linux, and Windows is written in straight C. games are no exeptions, maybe some C++ but mostly C. Yeah, I grew up on C, and still find myself making a lot of C like stylings and what not. Though the nice thing with C imho is that it'...
