Re: programming question
C# is great for building business applications, but I wouldn't recommend it for game development. (Unless, of course, you want to write something for the XBox 360 using XNA.)
I recommend watching Falco's How-To series on Game Development:

meltedgears, I second what he's said. if you're headed towards software engineering, it's excellent. I hear it's like Java, only less gay. I'm lacking much personal experienced with C#, but from what I understand its forced OO design makes it easy to create applications, but inefficient/impractical to create games. Obviously, there are exceptions to both...
Just remember, if you decide to go with C#, try to keep from ending up like these guys. (haha, fuck, I probably shouldn't have...Aw, hell...)

Re: programming question
I use C# at work, and like I said, its great for business applications. The company I work for is "technology agnostic" - so we've got both .NET and Java programmers. I give the Java developers plenty of shit.avansc wrote:hahaha, unfortuanatly is like java, and just as gay. well if java is the catcher and C# is the pitcher. but i mean gay is gay.

i guess they dont know better. but if you said that to an experienced java developer he would school you.trufun202 wrote:I use C# at work, and like I said, its great for business applications.

java and C# is very closely related. the only major thing that java lacks is attributes.
java's swing is far superior to C# SWF. and java is much more mature and stable.
java is more OO than C#, C# is faster, but in business applications its not that critical.
java is a very powerful language when it comes to web based applications, jsp's and all that crud. if i was going
to make an administration system for a business i would use java, apache, tomcat, jsp, SQL. and be done with it.
note, im not pro java, because the work i do efficiency and performance is critical.

Re: programming question
hey is c/++ or c# better for a 2d mario remix
Re: programming question
i would say go C++ because there are tons of well developed 2D and 3D engines. but for something as small as that i would also suggest go with what you are most comfortable with.meltedgears wrote:hey is c/++ or c# better for a 2d mario remix

Re: programming question
For that, I'd suggest C++ and Allegro.meltedgears wrote:hey is c/++ or c# better for a 2d mario remix

Just a quick little 'related' question...
Can you use OpenGL for 2D graphics? Everytime I hear of a 2D game, everyone says allegro, and with 3D I usually hear OpenGL...
Re: programming question
im not sure, but i think allegro is based off of GL maybe SDL, which is the same really.XianForce wrote:trufun202 wrote:For that, I'd suggest C++ and Allegro.meltedgears wrote:hey is c/++ or c# better for a 2d mario remix

opengl is an API just like directX
allegro is a graphics engine. so yeah allegro is fine to use.
and to answer your question, yes you can do 2D games with OpenGl
